Avant-Garde

Originating from the French military term meaning 'advance guard,' it has been applied across various disciplines, including visual arts, literature, music, theater, and film.
Impressionism
Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated in France, characterized by its focus on capturing the transient effects of light and color through loose brushwork and open compositions. Emerging in the 1860s, it emphasized painting en plein air to depict everyday scenes and landscapes, challenging traditional academic art conventions.
Impressionist Art
Impressionist art is a 19th-century movement characterized by visible brush strokes, open composition, and an emphasis on accurately depicting light's changing qualities. Originating in France, it marked a departure from traditional art by focusing on ordinary subjects and capturing fleeting moments.
Renaissance Art
Renaissance art, emerging in Europe during the 14th to 17th centuries, marked a profound shift from medieval artistic conventions, emphasizing realism, humanism, and a revival of classical antiquity. This period introduced innovative techniques such as linear perspective, chiaroscuro, and sfumato, leading to more lifelike and three-dimensional representations in painting and sculpture.
