Art throughout 20th century overview

Here I have researched some of the key art movements from my  previous  min-map, featuring art movements spanning across the entire 20th century.

Art Nouveau 1890-1910:
An art style that lead to many other art  movements, in some ways one of the the most important ancestors of modern art. I have a  mood-board  for this earlier in the blog.
Fauvism 1900-1910:
A very  colorful  style of artwork that gained a reputation as being wild for its visible brush strokes.

Cubism 1900-1920:
Pablo Picasso is a name that is recognized throughout the entire world, his work has simply revolutionized art. In cubism, objects are broken up, analyzed and then reassembled in an abstract way.
Futurism 1910-1920
This style attempted to portray high speed movement as much as possible to represent pollution and cities, noise and other modern chaos.
Dadaism 1916-1923
You may recognize this as one of the most controversial art movements of the last 100 years, Dadaism existed to challenge art, what artists can do, and succeeded to change the worlds perspective on art.

Pop Art 1950-Ongoing
Popularized for featuring themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture such as comic books,  celebrities  or advertising.
Digital Art 1970-Ongoing
Digital art can be completely computer generated, or it can simply refer to any artwork created using a digital medium. Perhaps the most important art evolution in history, giving the masses access to any tool imaginable and new creative  possibilities.
