Abstract Expressionism was a postwar art movement that emphasized spontaneity, emotion, and abstraction. Known for gestural brushwork and vast color fields, it celebrated the artist's process and inner expression, marking a shift toward personal freedom and transforming modern art globally.

Emerging in post-World War II Vienna, the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism fused traditional techniques with surreal, dreamlike imagery. Inspired by Old Master precision, the movement explored mystical, psychological, and existential themes, blending the real with the fantastical.

Socialist Realism was a state-driven art movement that idealized workers, collective progress, and communist values. Spanning visual arts, literature, and theater, it aimed to inspire loyalty and optimism, using accessible and monumental forms to glorify labor, patriotism, and revolutionary ideals.

Graphic design merges art and communication through typography, imagery, and composition. From posters and logos to web design, it influences branding, marketing, and media. As technology advances, graphic design remains a key tool in visual storytelling, digital communication, and creative expression.

Graffiti is an urban art form that combines street culture, bold visuals, and public expression. Emerging from hip-hop and social movements, it has evolved from illicit tagging to a globally recognized artistic practice, shaping modern design, activism, and creative expression.

Gravura este o tehnică de imprimare în care un artist incizează sau gravează un design pe o suprafață dură, precum metal, lemn sau linoleum. Această matriță este apoi utilizată pentru a transfera imaginea pe hârtie, creând multiple exemplare ale operei originale.
