Blog #08 20th Century Art

I have noticed that this period, almost all of the paintings are abstract and 3d base like. Among the movements which flowered in the first decade of the 20th century were Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and Futurism. Painting with oil on canvas continues to be a favored choice of serious painters because of its long-lasting color and a variety of approaches and methods. Oil paints may have been used as far back as the 13th century. However as a medium in its modern form.

Artists in the twentieth century chose two distinct ways to depict modernism and the excitement of progress, realism and abstraction. Western Artists of the 20th century are; Georgia O'Keeffe, Maynard Dixon, Eanger Irving Couse, Nicolai Fechin, Henry Farny. These artists made significant contributions to the Western Art Scene in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of these artists added something new or left a strong, signature style in the Western art world.
