Artperiod.com is a blog with information on the different art styles and artists. This site was created as a resource for students to reference when studying modern art, but would be useful to anyone looking to learn more about the history of art.
This website is organized into different categories that break down periods of art by time period and specific style and will provide an overview of each period. In addition to these categories, there are also blog posts that offer further information on specific artists, movements and artwork from that period.
Connecting with other artists:
I have been in contact with many professional artists who have reviewed this website and provided feedback on ways to improve it as a resource for students. In addition, I am currently trying to connect with more established artists in order to expand this resource.

This blog is designed to help you learn about Modern art. This is just an introduction and will not go into all the artist or styles. I am using this blog to post each style with a picture and a brief description of what it was about.

The Impressionist movement is a wonderful and beautiful art period, but there was much more to the time period than just this. The emergence of photography and the Post-Impressionist movement are important aspects of this time period.
This is a great time period in art history because it was a new way to look at things. It also brought some new technology into the lives of artists like Monet and Renoir.
Before the invention of photography, painting was the only way to capture a moment in time. As such, painters were among the first artists to try and capture motion on canvas. Motion has been an important subject of art since the very beginning.
In fact, if you walk into an Art History class at your local university, you’ll probably find that your professor divides paintings into two categories: one where the subject is in motion and one where it is not. This distinction is called “figure with motion” or “figure with ground.” It all depends on how much of the image is moving and what’s staying still.
Truly skillful artists can capture intricate details and even subtle emotions in just a few brushstrokes. The most famous “figures with ground” are probably Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” (1893) and Henri Matisse’s “Dance” (1909). There are also many examples by impressionists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The avant-garde was a response against the idea of art being something to be appreciated by the upper class. It was made for the people.
The early 20th century saw many developments in art, including the birth of abstract painting, non-representational art, and conceptual art. In these cases, there was no longer an attempt to create an illusion of reality; rather, art becomes a pictorial representation of the artist’s inner world or vision. This can be seen as a return to subjectivity after the earlier attempts at objectivity.
Art that does not conform to tradition is termed avant-garde, meaning “vanguard” or “advance guard”. This is a modern usage of an old term, but it has come back into vogue in recent years. The avant-garde often works in an experimental and even a playful manner. It is also often used to describe works which push boundaries and break conventions; this is especially true of postmodernism which eschews objectivity and makes no attempt to create a work that appears to have any relation to reality.
