20th century artists changed forever the way we view modern art. For the first time artists achieved superstar status bringing famous paintings into people's lives. Whilst 20th century art began in the late 19th century with the Modernist movement, it then spread to Fauvism which started in France, and the Bridge, Die Brucke, which started in Germany. From these movements a great outpouring of artistic styles were born that are known collectively as Modern Art. Major styles and movements of the 20th century art are Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Photorealism, and Neo-Expressionism.
