While the modern lifestyle is based around simplicity and clean lines, modern art can take on many different forms. The styles which comprise modern art include expressionism, impressionism, formalism, cubism, surrealism, pop art and abstract expression.
Modern art dates back to mid 19th century with influential artists such as Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh and Georgia O’Keefe each leading the way with a unique style that created a new movement in the art world.
Andy Warhol, an American artist, is often considered a leading figure in pop art. His work combines artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement. One of Warhol’s most famous pieces of art was the Campbell’s Tomato Soup Can. He also painted many other iconic American objects including Coca-Cola bottles, dollar bills and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Muhammad Ali.
Salvador Dali was a Spanish surrealist painter best known for his bizarre images in his work. One of his most notable works is The Persistence of Memory which displays what he called “hand painted dream photographs” which includes melting watches and decay implied by swarming ants.
Claude Monet, a French artist, was a key Impressionist figure and is famous for the many landscape and leisure activities of Paris he depicted in his paintings. His work extended from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century. Towards the end of his career, Monet focused almost exclusively on the picturesque water-lily pond that he created on his property in Giverny.
