I think many people who come to my exhibitions of paintings keep asking me about Modern Art and other types of Art. I think this Time lines will help them. The entirety of art history broken up, chronologically, into five divisions.
The first 30,400 years, This covers ca. 30,000 B.C. to ca. 400 A.D. or, if you prefer, fertility statuettes and bone flutes to roughly the Fall of Rome. Prehistory, Western Ancient and Classical civilizations, and even your early Chinese dynasties and periods all have their dates listed as Ancient Art.
Years 400-1400 A.D., - Marvel that some still refer to this millennium as the Dark Ages. Yes, migration period art was portable by necessity, but the single biggest counterargument to "Dark Ages" lays in the words "illuminated manuscript.". Is listed as
Medieval to Early Renaissance Art.
Years 1400-1880 - After the long Italian Renaissance, Northern Renaissance and Baroque periods were over, we began to see new movements appear with greater frequency. and a multitude of readers' favorites from 15th Century Italian art to the French Impressionists.
Is listed as Renaissance to Early Modern Art
Years 1880 –1970 - Artists were extremely busy 90 years indeed. Not only had the Impressionists opened the floodgates on new paths to take, individual artists such as Picasso and Duchamp were themselves responsible for creating multiple movements.
Is listed as Modern Art
Years 1970-Present - Fewer movements are identifying themselves as such or art history simply hasn't caught up yet with those that have. Is listed as Contemporary Art
