Modern Realism

Modern Realism is an art style that depicts subjects as they exist in reality. Emerging after the development of abstract art, Modern Realism combines traditional realistic representation with modern techniques and approaches. Artists in this style focus on painting or drawing everyday life, portraying realistic subjects with a contemporary perspective.

De Stijl

De Stijl, meaning The Style, was a group of Dutch artists who created abstract art based on strict adherence to vertical and horizontal geometry. The group was founded by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg in 1917. Mondrian eventually left De Stijl when Van Doesburg began incorporating diagonal geometry into his work, which Mondrian felt deviated from the group's principles.

Linocut

Linocut is a printmaking technique similar to woodcut, where a sheet of linoleum is used as the relief surface. The design is carved into the linoleum using a V-shaped gouge or chisel, creating raised areas that form a mirror image of the final print. Ink is applied to the raised areas with a roller, and the linoleum sheet is then pressed onto fabric or paper. The printing can be done by hand or with a press.
