FOLDER EXPLANATIONS
Expressionism
- subjective feeling is more important than physical reality
- ranges from figurative to abstract as long as it's expressive
inspirations: Dix, Kandinski, Kirchner, Klee, Kokoschka, Marc, Munch, Schiele, etc.
Impressionism
- the "impression" of the world (nature etc.) is important
- the colours are in the forground. mostly paintings
- light, shadows, reflections
- characteristics: short brushstrokes, paint is directly added to the canvas and mixed there
inspirations: Cassatt, Degas, Gaugin, Monet, Pissaro, Renoir, Van Gogh,
Fauvism
- the colour is used as subject of a personal experience/impression of a situation. in contrary to the expressionistic movement positive feelings are also transported.
-strong colours, reduction of the 3dimensional room and often figurative images
inspirations: Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck, Dufy, Marquet, Rouault, Van Dongen, Friesz, Braque
Painterly Art
We also accept artworks that don't fit exactly into impressionism or fauvism but show the same virtuous painterly character.
Surrealism
- dreamlike, contains subcontious symbols, ...
inspirations: Chirico, Dali, Ernst, Magritte etc.
Symbolism
- parallels to the movement of art nouveau and surrealism. seen as the inbetween movement of impressionism and expressionism
-often works with mytholocial or biblical allegories, topics as dream, exstasy, feelings etc.
Cubism
- the painted objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form
- you can for excample see the profil of a face and both eyes at the same time.
- abstract paintings that base on gemoetric forms
inspirations: Braque, Gris, Picasso, ...
it is also possible that some abstract images go into the expressionistic category. it is all a matter of content and feeling.
Hyperrealism
as realistic as anyhow possible. Nothing more, nothing less. everything less realistic will not be accepted into that folder.
Art Nouveau
is characterized by organic, especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly stylized, flowing curvilinear forms. also mythological images are part of it. Art Nouveau is an approach to design according to which artists should work on everything from architecture to furniture, making art part of everyday life.
inspirations: Mucha, Beardsley, Chéret, Bilibin, Adams
Popart - Youthculture
All popular contemporary art, might also contain modern asian youthcultur influences. (we don't want to collect random manga-artworks, but we are open for impressive images from that direction as well!)
dadaism - Provocative - Critical- Political:
contemporary artworks that are eighter provocative, critical, political or disturbing in any way. topics are war'n conflicts, abuse, media, politics, cultur, business etc. but also just very disturbing contemporary dark images that don't fit into expressionism or surrealism. we also accept "nonsense" works in a dadaistic manner
.
For a deeper explanation and excamples look at the folder itself.
Avantgarde - Unique
contemporary artowrks that eigher strike through creativity, technic, vision etc. or overall uniqueness that has not been invented in a similar way yet. there might be influences of surrealism, expressionism, or anything else but its just too different to put it into that folder.
