Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and
Performance Art are all art movements that emerged in the 20th century and are considered part of the broader category of Contemporary art.
1. Abstract Expressionism: This movement developed in the 1940s and 1950s in the United States. It emphasized spontaneous and expressive brushwork, often using large-scale canvases. Artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning are associated with this movement. In Abstract Expressionism, artists focused on conveying emotions and inner experiences rather than depicting recognizable subjects.
2. Pop Art: Pop Art emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, also in the United States. It celebrated popular culture and everyday objects, challenging traditional notions of art. Artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used techniques such as collage, bright colors, and repetition to highlight the influence of mass media and consumerism on society.
