art movements
Cubism, Surrealism, Dadaism
Art movements are styles or tendencies in visual art shared by a group of artists during a particular period, often defined by common techniques, philosophies, or subject matter.
Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism are canonical examples.
The term extends to other creative fields: The Bauhaus influenced art movements in architecture and design.
Critics and historians name most movements retrospectively, though some artists consciously organized under manifestos.
