Art movements and abstraction

Art movements are styles or tendencies in art, each with a philosophy and a group of artists behind it. These curations cover how movements redefine what art is, how the 1970s feminist art movement challenged the art canon, and how abstract expressionism made painting an event after World War II.

How art movements redefine art

The history of art movements concerns tendencies or styles in art with a specific philosophy or goal, followed by groups of artists during a specific period; these movements were especially important in modern art, when each consecutive movement was considered a new avant-garde movement.

How the feminist art movement of the 1970s challenged the art canon

The feminist art movement of the 1970s refers to feminists' international efforts to produce art reflecting women's lives and experiences and to change how contemporary art is produced and perceived. It began in the 1960s and flourished throughout the 1970s as an outgrowth of the second wave of feminism.
