    The second half of 20th-century art has undoubtedly changed over the 50 years. We have seen art movements come and go, carry on for long periods, and influence many artists. Sometimes there were parallel movements; artists who combined movements and art creations grow to new forms. We see women and minority artists emerging and sharing their culture and political art.

    Abstract Art

    Abstract art moves from the precisely configured with pure colors, through the absolute purity of simplistic designs to interpretative images. In all the movements of the period, artists became inspired to break the standards and create new images.
