Modern Artists - In a Nutshell

Impressionism, Surrealism, Pop Art, Fauvism, Expressionism - these are just a few of the numerous styles and movements that are often summarized in the field of fine arts with the term modern art.

In fact, there are different opinions among experts about how “modern art” should be delimited, whether contemporary art belongs to modern art and at what point postmodernism begins.

Our topic is less about such art historical questions. Rather, we would like to give you an overview of important artists - especially of the 20th century - a century that was significantly influenced by modern art.

In a nutshell is the name of this category and that's why you can expect short facts about works, life dates and, above all, the meaning of the individual visual artists.

You always wanted to know what Frida Kahlo painted? Why Andy Warhol is so famous? Or why Keith Haring's stick figures are art? Then we wish you a lot of fun and new input with this topic.

We have one more hint: For copyright reasons, it is unfortunately not possible to include images of the works of every artist in our app. However, in some cases you will find a direct link where you can view examples of the works.
