The document provides an overview of major art movements from Romanticism through Postmodernism, highlighting some of the key features and influential artists of each period. Romanticism emphasized imagination, nature, and the individual. Realism sought to depict everyday life realistically. Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting moments and effects of light. Modernism emerged in response to World War I and industrialization, with Cubism and abstract works shown in the influential 1913 Armory Show. Postmodernism saw the rise of Pop Art, using consumer culture imagery, and feminist art challenging social norms.
3. O man, of whatever country you are, and whatever your opinions may be, behold your history, such as I have thought to read it, not in books, written by your fellow- creatures, who are liars, but in nature, which never lies.” --- Rousseau Rousseau and his Social Contract
