Later Europe refers to art produced in Europe from around 1750 CE onwards. Later Americas refers to art created in North America after European colonization began. These periods are characterized by various artistic movements influenced by historical events and cultural shifts.
Think of Later Europe and Americas like different chapters in a history book. Just as each chapter covers a specific time period, these terms represent distinct eras in art history.
Romanticism: An artistic movement that emphasized emotion, individuality, and the sublime in response to industrialization and social changes.
Impressionism: A style of painting that captured fleeting moments and impressions of light and color, often characterized by visible brushstrokes.
Abstract Expressionism: An art movement that emerged after World War II, focusing on spontaneous expression and emotional intensity through abstract forms.
