An artistic movement is a style or trend in art that is characterized by a shared philosophy, techniques, or themes among artists during a specific period. These movements often arise in response to cultural, social, or political changes and can influence various forms of art, including painting, sculpture, and literature. Examples include Impressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. Artists within a movement typically collaborate or inspire one another, leading to a cohesive body of work that reflects their collective vision. Movements can vary in duration and impact, with some, like Renaissance, lasting for centuries, while others, such as Dadaism, may be more short-lived but equally significant in shaping the art world.
