Art
Movements are the collective titles that are given to artworks
which share the same artistic ideals, style, technical approach
or timeframe.
There is no fixed rule that determines what constitutes an art
movement. The artists associated with one movement may adhere
to strict guiding principles, whereas those who belong to another
may have little in common.
Art
Movements are simply a historical convenience for grouping together
artists of a certain period or style so that they may be understood
within a specific context.
Art
Movements are usually named retrospectively by art critics or
historians and their titles are often witty or sarcastic nicknames
pulled from a bad review.
