2. Cubism ( ’s)
Cubism was the first totally abstract art movement-it broke all the rules artists had followed since the Renaissance.
Instead of making art that was representational, like a view through a window, Cubists looked cross-eyed through a kaleidoscope, suggesting their feelings through neutral color and geometric forms.
Influenced by current developments in science, music and philosophy, Cubists tried to create a new language of representation, a new way of seeing things.

25. Realism/ Mexican Muralists
Mexican muralism is a Mexican art movement that took place primarily in the 1930s. The movement stands out historically because of its political undertones, or related to a social and political situation of post-revolutionary Mexico.
A number of like-minded artists in Mexico turned to their own history and artistic heritage, namely Mexico's pre-Columbian cultures and indigenous peoples, contributing to a renaissance of Mexican painting.

26. Mexican Muralism
This style was thought of as a teaching method and it was expressed in public places where all people could have access to it regardless of race and social class. Muralists worked over a concrete surface or on the façade of a building. The themes involved events from the political climate of the time and as a reaction to the Mexican Revolution.
Beginning in the 1920s and continuing to mid century, artists were commissioned by the local government to cover the walls of official institutions such as Mexico’s schools, churches and museums. Murals from this movement can be found on the majority of the public buildings in Mexico City and throughout other cities in Mexico, such as Guadalajara, that played important roles in Mexico’s history

38. Andrew Wyth/ New Realism
The woman crawling through the tawny grass was the artist's neighbor in Maine, who, crippled by polio, "was limited physically but by no means spiritually." Wyeth further explained, "The challenge to me was to do justice to her extraordinary conquest of a life which most people would consider hopeless." He recorded the arid landscape, rural house, and shacks with great detail, painting minute blades of grass, individual strands of hair, and nuances of light and shadow. In this style of painting, known as magic realism, everyday scenes are imbued with poetic mystery.
