According to many art historians, the adventure of modern art began in the 1870s in Paris, when a group of artists, the Impressionists, started painting with quick and imprecise brushstrokes. Instead of grand heroic scenes, they depicted everyday life and distanced themselves from the traditional circle of gallery owners by organizing their own exhibitions. Once they overcame academic principles, nothing could stop them. In a constant desire to challenge, innovate, and inspire, new artistic styles followed one after another: symbolism, expressionism, futurism, dadaism, abstract art, renewed realism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, pop art, minimalist art, and conceptual art. This essential compendium illustrates the unstoppable energy of modern art (from 1870 to 2000) through introductory analysis and a year-by-year listing of the most revolutionary works of art, those that, breaking barriers, challenged established canons. It includes detailed descriptions of the works and their artists, as well as reviews of the most relevant and influential movements.
