Key Terms:

Neoclassicism - A style of the late 18th and early 19th centuries that was influenced by the Greek Classical style and that often employed Classical themes for its subject matter.

Romanticism - A dramatic, emotional, and subjective art arising in the early 19th century in opposition to the austere discipline of Neoclassicism.

Realism - Generally, the tendency to render the facts of existence, but specifically, in the 19th century, the desire to describe the world in a way unadulterated by the imaginative and idealist tendencies of the Romantic sensibility.

Modernism- A movement in Western Art that developed in the second half of the 19^th century and sought to capture the images and sensibilities of the age.  Modernist art goes beyond simply dealing with the present and involves the artist’s critical examination of the premise of art itself.

Impressionism - A late 19th-century art movement, centered in France, and characterized by its use of discontinuous strokes of color meant to reproduce the effects of light.

Post-Impressionism - A name that describes the painting of a number of artists, working in widely different styles, in the last decades of the 19th century in France.
