They Expressed themselves through shows, leaflets, magazines, and performances, and invented random new shapes using the technique of sound and poetry.

Marcel Duchamp, a dada associate, created ready-mades, sculpture produced from industrial objects such as bottle carriers and urinals, which he would turn into work of art.

Surrealism

Created by a group gathered and United by writer and poet Andre Breton in 1924, this movement whose aim was to reconcile art with Life by exploring dream and the subconscious.

Through puns, collective drawings, stroll and travels, The Artist freed themselves from the boundaries of reason, allowing themselves from the boundaries of reason, allowing themselves to be guided by chance and encounter and producing work harbouring unsettling strangeness.

New objectivity:

The artist who formed the German artistic movement borrowed the sub-services change of Dada and adopted formal means of showing their commitment to a cold realistic style.

This New style draws its shapes from new images from the press- which was very innovative in Germany at that time, from Popular entertainment and from the living condition in the modern town.

Gesture and material 

The numerous artistic trends that appeared in Europe following the Second World War-
Tachism, Informalism, lyrical abstraction, etc

All have in common theme the affirmation of the materiality of the work, a keen interest for ancient civilization and the production of art outside usual artistic circuits. The material is very present, often unseen before, and generate shapes that defy categorization.

Cobra

Alexander Calder

Since the end of the 1980s, inspired by a natural law of Physics, he invented a complementary principle with his “stabiles” installed on the north terrace. 

New Realism

The new realistic were brought together by Pierre Restany to describe their new perception of reality, Their work was characterized by the use of material and objects derived from the growing culture of consumerism.

They view the word as a painting, the great fundamental work from which date is fragmenting wrote Rastany. Through their movement and their action accumulating, packaging, unwrapping, trapping, collecting molding-they portray this new urban reality.

Pop art emerged in the 1950s

In both England and the United States. Ordinary objects, symbols, popular culture and the language of media inspired the pop artists. They did not limit themselves to pictorial techniques, but also used industrial procedures, As “Roy Lichtenstein said “commercial art is not our art, It is our subject

Kinetic art

Kinetic artist stimulates the viewer’s perception, who is invited to move in front of and some time inside the works, which become places of real experimentation.

Mechanisms, optical trick or play of light, the layout of new material or the creation of all-encompassing environments demand participation from every sense.

Jesus Rafael Soto
