INTRODUCTION
In this module, we will talk continually about art historiography or the historical
study of the visual arts being concerned with identifying, classifying, describing, evaluating,
interpreting, and understanding the art products and historic development of the fields of
painting, sculpture, architecture, the decorative arts, drawing, printmaking, photography,
interior design, etc. We will tackle all about the art movements during the fine arts,
modernism until the new media art forms that rise during the 20th century.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Now, let us properly continue our discussion on Art History and Movements!
Fine Art or the Fine Arts, from the 17th century on, denote art forms developed
primarily for aesthetics and/or concept, distinguishing them from applied arts that also serve
some practical function. Some artists gained freedom by at the courts of monarchs and the
nobility, while others made art to sell directly to individual working collectors. As a result,
art academies became increasingly important as a way to enter into the profession without
conforming to guild regulations.

9.6. MODERNISM (19TH CENTURY)
Art in the 19th century began with the continuation of Neo classicism and
Romanticism into the mid-century. After that, a new classification of art became popular:
modernism. The term Modernism applied retrospectively to the wide range of experimental
and avant-garde trends in the arts that emerged from the middle of the 19th century, as
artists rebelled against traditional Historicism, and later through 20th century as the
necessity of an individual rejecting previous tradition, and by creating individual, original
techniques.
modernism. The Post-Impressionists often exhibited together, but unlike the Impressionists,
they wanted to work alone.
9.6.3 Pointillism/Neo-impressionism
Title: Starry Night (1889)
Painted by: Vincent Van Gogh (1880s - 1900
AD)
Pointillism/Neo-Impressionism describes a
technique of painting in which hundreds of small dots or
dashes of pure color are applied to the canvas or other
ground in order to create maximum luminosity.
The term was first used to describe the
paintings of Georges and Paul Signac who developed
the technique in 1886.
Title: Metamorphosis
Artist: Miao Xiaochun
The artists in this period used new materials, new techniques of painting and developed
new theories about how art should reflect the perceived world. They abandoned strict adherence to
traditional hierarchies of mediums and embraced any means, including technological, which
best served their purposes.
movement manipulates color to convey the darker side of human emotions, ending up with a
much different result.

SUMMARY
The history of art is almost as long as the beginning of the human habitation. The
first visible form of art began in the oldest period in human history which is categorized by
cave paintings and portable pieces of small figurines carved out of bone, modelled in clay or
stone. Since the time when people begun to draw a picture on the wall of the cave, the
method and style of art has constantly changed as time progressed. Artists in the past had
been using different techniques in various forms and have always been interested in the new
horizons of possibilities that is even something new to our understanding. The late 20 th
century and 21st century marked the emergence of a different kind of artist; an artist who
started using technology in creating or displaying ant throughout the course of history,
technologies are progressing, expanding and becoming less and less expensive, making it
more accessible almost to everyone. As new technologies become available, artists learn to
use them and traditional means of expression are transformed and entirely new means of
expression are being developed. Exploring new mediums this very day is just as exciting,
just as full of freshness and newness as it ever was. This trend towards greater use of
technology as a creative tool will continue into the future.
