Stages in contemporary art
Informalism
In parallel with the abstract expressionism of the United States, it encompasses all the abstract and gestural trends developed in France and the rest of Europe after World War II. There are several different trends such as lyrical abstraction, material painting, the New School of Paris, Tachism, spatialism or Art Brut.
The Pop
It was an artistic movement of the 20th century. Its most important characteristic is the use of images of popular culture, such as advertisements, comic books, the world of cinema, among others. Pop art sought to use popular images in opposition to the elitist fine arts culture, highlighting the banal through the use of irony.
Deconstruction and Postmodernity
It is characterized by its opposition to the project of modern art seen as an evolution, as a reflection of the society that surrounds it and generates it. Rejecting the programmatic principle of avant-garde art, assuming the failure of the avant-garde movements, being a self-referential art, art speaks of art, without trying to do a social work.
