Abstract Art

Abstract art abandons figurative representation to express emotions and ideas through shapes, colors and lines.

Impressionism captures light and the fleeting moment through loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, revolutionizing 19th-century painting.

1905 – 1930

Expressionism distorts reality to externalize intense emotions, existential anguish and social criticism.

1924 – 1966

Surrealism explores the unconscious and dreams to liberate the imagination beyond reason and conventional morality.

1955 – 1970

Pop Art elevates popular culture and mass media to the status of art, challenging boundaries between high and low culture.

1960 – 1975

Minimalism reduces art to its essential elements — form, color, space — eliminating all subjective expression.

1965 – present

In conceptual art, the idea is the work: the mental process and intellectual proposal surpass the physical object.

1840 – 1890

Realism represents everyday life with objective fidelity, focusing on the working classes and social reality.

1970 – present

Contemporary art encompasses artistic practices from the 1970s to the present, characterized by plurality and globality.

Mexican Muralism transformed public spaces into monuments of national identity, history and social struggle.
