Modern painting

At the beginning of the industrial revolution in the second half of the 19-th century, new art styles and movements appeared in shorter and shorter distances. Therefore the quicker and quicker social changes were also reflected in the art again.

The history of modern paintings begins in Paris with the impressionists. The scandal with an exhibit in 1863 around the presentation of Manets painting, Dejeuner sur l ` harsh, is the beginning of this style.

The development further leads from the impressionists (Monet, Degas, Renoir), about expressionism (Matisse, Marc, clover), kind of Nouveau (Klimt), cubism (Picasso, Braques, Cezanne) to the paintings of the surrealism (Magritte, Chagall, Miro).

From the paintings of the surrealism most reproductions appear of Dalis work.

Now bit by bit more and more the abstract art asserts itself and finds her best known representatives in Kandinsky, Mondrian and Max Ernst.

Almost in the present come we find the pop kind with Andy Warhol (1928-1987), Hockney, Oldenburg, Rosenquist and Lichtenstein. Typically for the paintings the pop kind is the representation of everyday and the use of comics.
