 Photorealism
Much like artists working in the Pop Art style sought to
artistically reproduce objects, those involved with Photorealism
aimed to create hyperrealistic drawings and paintings.
Photorealists often worked from photographs, which enabled
them to accurately reproduce portraits, landscapes, and other
iconography. Chuck Close and Gerhard Richteroften worked
in this style.
 Minimalism
Minimalism materialized in the 1960s and is still prevalent today.
According to the Tate, both movements “challenged the
existing structures for making, disseminating and viewing art.”
What sets Minimalism apart, however, is that its simple, abstract
aesthetic invites viewers to respond to what they see—not what
they think a given work of art represents. Donald Judd, Sol
LeWitt, and Dan Flavin are some key Minimalist artists.
 Performance Art
Beginning in the 1960s and retaining its popularity today,
performance art is a drama-inspired approach to art. While the
art form is performed by artists (as the name suggests), it is not
solely intended as entertainment. Instead, its goal is to convey a
message or idea.
 Installation Art
Like performance pieces, installation art is an immersive
medium of art. Installations are three-dimensional
constructions that transform their surroundings and alter
viewers' perceptions of space. Often, they're site-specific and
large-scale.
 Earth Art
A unique spin on installation art, Earth Art (or
Land Art) is a movement in which
artists transform natural landscapes into site-
specific works of art.
 Street Art
As one of the most recent contemporary art
movements, street art is a genre that gained
prominence with the rise of graffiti in the 1980s.
Often rooted in social activism, street art includes
murals, installations, stenciled images, and stickers
erected in public spaces.

and quickly disperse for entertainment
