"The 20th century is a time of ruptures and modernity, and that is exactly what happened in the art world.
As in a revolution, in Paris at the beginning of the century, artists from all over Europe came together with the desire to break with the tradition imposed in the academies of Fine Arts. This is how the first movements called avant-garde emerged, due to their ability to break with the academic and the correct.

Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism... and so on a wide variety of trends, with artists such as Henri Matisse, Salvador Dalí, Frida Khalo and the great Pablo Picasso.

The statue of the Venus de Milo, a symbol of the classic, the correct and the rational, is the counterpoint of a pictorial revolution."

Color as rupture. Post-Impressionism and Fauvism.
"Vincen Van Gogh, with his passionate and expressive use of form and color to show his states of mind, thus turned art into a direct mirror of life itself, giving color the importance as a vehicle of emotions that influenced the first avant-garde of art. 20th century: Fauvism.
('fauve' in French, means beast). The group received that name because its members did not use the colors as it had been done until now. Screaming colors that were strange to the public of that time. Altering the colors they represented an ideal world, full of joy, happiness and without worries."

The breaking of reality. Surrealism.
"Surrealist artists, 'their realism', began an artistic journey inward, to explore the lesser known places of our thinking and showing emotions. Especially those that are more difficult for us to understand because they seem to have no rules, such as fear and nightmares.
They also liked the art that children do, because it is born quickly and without the rules of adults. That freedom in which nothing can stop our imagination was the greatest wish of the surrealists."

The design revolution. Bauhaus.
"In 1919 the German school of the Bauhaus, 'house of construction', created a new way of designing art that could help youth build a better and peaceful society. Also in the creation of those things that use each day
That is why design was a very important element for the Bauhaus. His way of understanding space, furniture or even toys, still endures. Thus, the Bauhaus was the first step of modern design."

The art of everything for everyone. Pop art.
"Starting in the 1950s, the world underwent enormous transformations at all levels thanks to economic growth and technological discoveries that brought new products, entertainment and ways of living.
Pop Art artists wanted to show in their works the most popular products, characters and fashions of a new society based on consumption, money and shopping. Also critically. His way of looking at society still has an important mark."
