STYLESImpressionism Realism

Expressionism(Abstract style)

Hyperrealism

Surrealism

IMPRESSIONISM is a genre of painting in

which the main objective is to capture the

light and the moment.

The impressionists aimed to show the

visual impression the scene made on them

by means of shimmering dots of light

and colour. They especially liked working

outdoors because it is outside that the

light conditions and colours change most

noticebly depending on the time of day and

the season.

EXPRESSIONISM does not portray the

external appearance of objects, but the

painter’s own view. Expressionist

painters changed the forms of things and

used intensive colours.

SURREALISM Is interested in what goes

beyond reality. Familiar things are

presented in way never seen before and

are linked to surprising and mysterious

paintings in a dreamlike manner.

REALISM represents subject matter

truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding

artistic conventions, implausible, exotic and

supernatural elements. It consists of

imitating reality just the way it is.

HYPERREALISM is a genre of painting

and sculpture resembling a high-

resolution photograph.
