artistic movement
Stylistic collective wave
An artistic movement is a group of artists, writers, musicians, or other creative figures who share a distinct style, philosophy, or set of goals during a particular period.
Movements like Impressionism, Surrealism, or Romanticism often emerge as reactions against prevailing conventions or in response to social and cultural shifts.
The Bauhaus movement influenced everything from architecture to furniture design.
Some movements are named by their practitioners; others are labeled retrospectively by critics and historians.
