The Paths of Painting

Paths of Painting – down thru history



Stage 1: Early art (classic): Clarity – Formality - Precision

Stage 2: Impressionism: Obscurity – Informality - Imprecise

Stage 3: Modern: Expressiveness – Vitality – Flux

Group one represents the dominance of good appearance.

From there each group gives way to the next development.

Some authors claim that from the very earliest times

all forms of art have been destined to demonstrate those

classifications consistent with that abstract and artistic

freedom we find in a POSTMODERN stage 4, which we

confuse today with a title Contemporary Art.
