Art movement

By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new style which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy (abstract art).

[5][6] During the period of time corresponding to "modern art" each consecutive movement was often considered a new avant-garde.

Generally there was a commonality of visual style linking the works and artists included in an art movement.

[6][13] The term refers to tendencies in visual art, novel ideas and architecture, and sometimes literature.

[citation needed] As the names of many art movements use the -ism suffix (for example cubism and futurism), they are sometimes referred to as isms.
