Art History is the study of art over the ages, from the earliest [[cave paintings]] to the latest [[avant garde]] works of the [[21st Century]]. Art history is usually divided into different [[art movements]] or organized by region, country, century or even decade (ie. American Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s).

The modern way of studying art history is based upon a linear progression, with one art movement following another or sometimes co-existing at the same time (ie. [[Dada]] and [[Surrealism]] started roughly around the same time and shared similar ideas). This idea of studying art history and explaining it is sometimes called the Greenberg Method, after the [[art critic]] [[Clement Greenberg]]

There are literally hundreds of different art movements and art groups. Here is a list of some of the popular movements (listed in chronological order): [[Neo-Classical]], [[Romanticism]], [[Realism]], [[Impressionism]], [[Post-Impressionism]], [[Fauvism]], [[Cubism]], [[Dada]], [[Surrealism]], [[Abstract Expressionism]], [[Modernism]], [[Postmodernism]].

Please note: [[Avant Garde]] is not an art movement. It is just a way of describing what is the newest [[fad]] in art, the most outrageous and the most uniquely different. Some people have misinterpreted the term to mean [[cliche]], but this is the result of artistic ignorance.
