Zeitgeist: Something in the air, before a fad begins, something cool, that not many people are doing e.g. New fashions.
Bauhaus: Created “rules for design” based on less is more, which led to reductionism which led to minimalism inspired by Zeitgeist.
Neoclassicism: The Renaissance inspired Art Movement started by the discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum put Europeans in touch with their antique roots it incorporated experimentation and was a result of dissatisfaction of the past, and the need for “radical” changes in society in the future
Cubism: Changed the way society saw things
Plakostile: Simple images with large bold text, flat areas of colour, no modeling or gradations of tone
Futurism: Non linear composition, harmony is rejected in favour of noise in love with the possibilities of the future and mechanization
Dada: Nonsense Art Movement similar to graffiti inspired by futurism and consisted of “found” objects.
Russian constructivism: A mixture of cubism and futurism created a new movement which unifies communist ideologies with visual form
