The document provides information on several art movements throughout history including Art Nouveau, Dada, Art Deco, Pop Art, Postmodernism, De Stijl, and Bauhaus. It describes the key characteristics and origins of each movement. Art Nouveau emerged in the late 19th century focusing on organic motifs. Dada began during World War 1 as an anti-war movement rejecting fine art standards. Art Deco was a purely decorative style seen as elegant and modern. Pop Art employed images from popular culture and mass media. Postmodernism incorporated various new media like video and performance art. De Stijl advocated pure abstraction using primary colors. Bauhaus had a major influence on art and architecture in Europe and

13. ART NOUVEAU
Art Nouveau (French for 'new art'), also known as Jugendstil (German
for 'youth style', named after the magazine Jugend, which promoted
it), is an international movement and style of art, architecture and
applied art—especially the decorative arts—that peaked in popularity
at the turn of the 20th century (1890–1905). A reaction to academic art
of the 19th century, it is characterized by organic, especially floral and
other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly-stylized, flowing
curvilinear forms. 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.

25. DADA
Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich,
Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922. The
movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art
manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and
concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing
standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Dada activities
included public gatherings, demonstrations, and publication of art/
literary journals; passionate coverage of art, politics, and culture were
topics often discussed in a variety of media. The movement influenced
later styles like the avant-garde and downtown music movements, and
groups including surrealism, Nouveau Réalisme, pop art, Fluxus and
punk rock.

38. ART DECO
Although many design movements have political or philosophical
roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. At the time, this
style was seen as elegant, functional, and modern.

50. POP
Pop art is an important art movement of the twentieth century.
Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass
culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural
objects, pop art is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-
dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, as well as an expansion
upon them.[3] Pop art, like pop music, aimed to employ images of
popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or
kitschy elements of any given culture, most often through the use of
irony.

65. POSTMODERN
In general movements such as Intermedia, Installation art, Conceptual
Art and Multimedia, particularly involving video are described as
postmodern. The traits associated with the use of the term postmodern
in art include bricolage, use of words prominently as the central artistic
element, collage, simplification, appropriation, depiction of consumer
or popular culture and Performance art.

85. DE STIJL
Proponents of De Stijl sought to express a new utopian ideal of
spiritual harmony and order. They advocated pure abstraction and
universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they
simplified visual compositions to the vertical and horizontal directions,
and used only primary colors along with black and white.

99. BAUHAUS
The Bauhaus had a major impact on art and architecture trends in
Western Europe, the United States, Canada and Israel (particularly in
White City, Tel Aviv) in the decades following its demise, as many of
the artists involved fled, or were exiled, by the Nazi regime. Tel Aviv, in
fact, has been named to the list of world heritage sites by the UN due
to its abundance of Bauhaus architecture; it had some 4000 Bauhaus
buildings erected from 1933 on.
