VINCENT VAN GOGH (1853-1890)


-His works were remarkable for their
strong, heavy brush strokes, intense
emotions and colors that appeared
almost pulsate with energy.

emotional force, rather than with
realistic and natural images.
-They distorted outines,, applied
strong colors and exaggerated
forms.

colors and visual distortions.
DADAISM

playful, the movement arose from

brought by World War I.

a three-dimensional geometric

machine-propelled age.

-They admired the motion, force,


speed and strength of mechanical

MECHANICAL STYLE
-In this style, basic forms such as
planes, cones, spheres and
