Art History - A Summary

Romanesque | Plagiarize the ancients. They're dead, they'll never know.

Gothic | Make the buildings taller, make the humans actually look like humans.

Renaissance | Plagiarize the ancients. Again. #BornInTheWrongGeneration

Baroque | Go big or go home, but keep it classic.

Rococo | Kids, can you lighten up a bit? I need to finish the 98th flourish on this piece.

Romanticism | Nature is beautiful and I'd probably be a vegan if that was already a thing.

Neo-Classicism | I have redone this line a thousand times and it's still a whole micrometer out of place. All is lost.

Impressionism | Light is underrated. Can we have class outside!?

Post-Impressionism | Paint what you see, then paint over that with your *heart*.

Fauvism | Sunglasses optional, but recommended.

Expressionism | Feelings are grand. Not that our society would know. Please pass my a tissue, I'm getting tears on the canvas.

Cubism | Geometry nerds discover art supplies.

Futurism | New is always better. Bright colors are a close second best.

Dada | I can laugh at anyone's face! I can laugh at your face! I can laugh at your dog's face! I can laugh at my own face!

Constructivism | Build things, but make them art things.

Surrealism | Did someone see my dream interpretation book? It was next to my horoscope for the week.

Abstract Expressionism | You can't just clearly explain an emotion in the USA. They are free like a soaring bald eagle eating leftover hamburgers.

Pop Art | Revenge of the geeks, and also advertising because even artists have bills to pay.

Minimalism | IKEA Begins.

Conceptual Art - Present Day | Nothing matters. Just throw some paint at it and call it art. Read a book and get depressed.


Disclaimer: I do not mean to discredit any of the mentioned art movements, and some of them are even personally inspiring to me. This is meant for humor purposes only.
