This era of style in painting, sculpture, and decorative art was characterized by a focus on nature and individualism, the thought of man as independent and self-reliant.

This era of art yielded more complex, stylized compositions rather than relying on the classical ideals of harmonious composition and linear perspective used by their Renaissance predecessors.

The ideals present in each of these art forms reject order, harmony, and rationality, which were embraced in both classical art and Neoclassicism.

The movement transitioned away from methods used in Abstract Expressionism, and instead used everyday, mundane objects to create innovative works of art that challenged consumerism and mass media.

This period is characterized by capturing fleeting effects of natural light.

Much of the artwork produced in the early years of the period reflects that darkness, characterized by grotesque imagery and brutal scenery.

It was characterized by grandeur and richness, punctuated by an interest in broadening human intellect and global discovery.
