Contemporary Realism During the mid 1960's and early 1970's as America was experiencing military, political and social change, the art community under went a metamorphism seeking to challenge and displace the Modernism movement of Abstraction, with Realism.Contemporary Realists advocate a simple style intent on portraying ordinary contemporary life with attention to individual and regional eccentricities. Artists use direct visual language of current iconography and symbols; a language easily understood by nearly everyone in the culture. Subjects are portrayed in as straightforward a manner as possible, without idealizing them. Also, the artists make liberal use of humor and frequently employ saturated colors and elements of Pop culture. http://americannitro.com/contemporary-realism.htm

Botanical Illustration Botanical illustration is the art of depicting the form, color, and details of plant life (https://mymodernmet.com/history-of-botanical-illustration/). The original intent of botanical illustrations was to accurately record the details of plants prior to the invention of photography. These illustrations employ scientifically correct details in an aesthetically pleasing way. It differs from floral artworks with its precise attention to the accurate depiction of the plant. Botanical illustrations are still created today.

Pop Art Pop Art began in the 1950s, but became very popular in the 1960s. It started in the United Kingdom, but became a true art movement in New York City. Pop Art uses images and icons that are popular in the modern world. This includes famous celebrities like movie stars and rock stars, commercial items like soup cans and soft drinks, comic books, and any other items that are popular in the commercial world. There are a number of ways that artists use these items to create art such as repeating the item over and over again, changing the color or texture of the item, and putting different items together to make a picture. https://www.ducksters.com/history/art/pop_art.php

Surrealism Surrealist artists—like Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, or Michael Cheval, among many others—seek to explore the unconscious mind as a way of creating art, resulting in dreamlike, sometimes bizarre imagery across endless mediums. The core of Surrealism is a focus on illustrating the mind’s deepest thoughts automatically when they surface. This thought process for creating art known as “automatism.” What is Surrealism?

Art Nouveau (from French for new art), movement in Western art and design, which reached its peak during the 1890s. Hallmarks of the art nouveau style are flat, decorative patterns; intertwined organic forms such as stems or flowers; an emphasis on handcrafting as opposed to machine manufacturing; the use of new materials; and the rejection of earlier styles. Art nouveau embraced all forms of art and design: architecture, furniture, glassware, graphic design, jewelry, painting, pottery, metalwork, and textiles. www.kibin.com/essay-examples/the-history-and-characteristics-of-the-art-nouveau-movement-FYJD3wXj
