What is Art movement?
An '''art movement''', or ''ism'', is a style in [[art]]. It may have a common [[philosophy]], followed by a group of artists. It may be a [[label]] given by a critic to describe a type of artwork. It is typical of the post-[[photography]] era that art explores new directions. Some art movements can be pinned down to a time and place, or to particular artists. Verbal explanation of movements may come from the artists themselves, sometimes in the form of an art [[manifesto]] (published statement). Quite often, a movement is labelled afterwards by some art historian or critic. Art movements may be connected to similar ideas in [[architecture]], [[literature]], [[philosophy]] or even [[politics]].
