Realism: An Ode to Life’s True Essence
Realism emerges as a testament to capturing life in its unembellished reality. Caravaggio’s mastery in “The Calling of Saint Matthew” and Vermeer’s exquisite “Girl with a Pearl Earring” exemplify this style’s intricate detailing, transporting viewers into authentic moments frozen in time. India’s Raja Ravi Varma, with his evocative portrayals, mirrors cultural narratives, depicting life’s essence in vivid strokes.

Impressionism: Capturing Fleeting Emotions
Impressionism, heralded by Monet’s ethereal “Impression, Sunrise” and Renoir’s lively “Luncheon of the Boating Party,” transcends mere visuals, encapsulating emotions with vibrant brushstrokes. In India, Rabindranath Tagore’s brushwork harmonized local emotions and hues, infusing them into impressionistic renderings.

Cubism: A Mosaic of Perspectives
Picasso’s groundbreaking “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon” and Braque’s enigmatic “Violin and Candlestick” shattered traditional representation, presenting a kaleidoscope of fragmented viewpoints. India’s modernist genius, Amrita Sher-Gil, echoed Cubist echoes, intertwining Western influences with the indigenous.

Surrealism: The Canvas of Dreams
Dali’s surreal “The Persistence of Memory” and Magritte’s thought-provoking “The Son of Man” plunged viewers into surreal subconscious landscapes. Maqbool Fida Husain’s vibrant Indian surrealism bridged mythologies with reality, enriching the canvas with vivid cultural allegories.

Abstract Expressionism: Emotions Unfettered
Pollock’s dynamic “Number 1A, 1948” and Rothko’s emotive “No. 6 (Violet, Green and Red)” liberated emotions through unrestrained brushstrokes. India’s S.H. Raza and V.S. Gaitonde delved into abstract expressions, amalgamating spirituality and abstraction in their works.

Pop Art: Celebrating Everyday Icons
Warhol’s iconic “Campbell’s Soup Cans” and Lichtenstein’s impactful “Whaam!” immortalized pop culture. Bharti Kher and Subodh Gupta of India encapsulated the vibrancy of Indian pop culture, infusing it into their dynamic contemporary creations.

Minimalism: A Symphony of Simplicity
Judd’s stark “Untitled (Stack)” and Martin’s serene “The Islands” celebrated minimalism’s purity. India’s Nasreen Mohamedi and Jeram Patel crafted minimalist masterpieces, offering serene visual experiences through simple yet profound creations.

Postmodernism: A Fusion of Diverse Narratives
Postmodernism, epitomized in Cindy Sherman’s captivating “Untitled Film Stills” and Koons’ playful “Balloon Dog,” blurred the lines between high and popular art. Bhupen Khakhar of India challenged norms through socially engaging art, paving the way for a new narrative in the art scene.
