Inspiring a common visual experience of cohesion and synthesis of realism and abstraction, fauvism and symbolism, and even pop art, which can also be experienced as surrealism, his work can truly be placed in the category of postmodernism and considered as avant-garde in our current era.

That show was an international exhibition of modern art and introduced America to major movements, including impressionism, fauvism, symbolism and cubism.

Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, Constructivism, on down to Pop Art, minimalism and conceptual art -- all purported to originate or restart some project of formal, political or aesthetic progress. To this day, the search for something novel in individual temperament, or in the solidarity of an artistic cohort, has not abated, although nowadays the art market seeks it even more aggressively than do young artists themselves.

Vivid Mayan textiles a study in cultural evolution Mar 30, 2007
For searing the eyes with bright, sometimes jarring hues, the exhibition "Arte Textil Maya" at the National Museum of Mexican Art wouldn't lose a trick to the fauvism of the early 20th century, or even the op art of the 1960s. But the items on display aren't the signed creations of internationally known artists; they're the work of anonymous women, often woven with primitive back-strap looms. (CNN -- Travel)

Lazzell exhibit Dec 23, 2006
Versed in the modern movements of fauvism and cubism, Lazzell's most significant achievements are the white-line wood-block prints, particularly her popular images of Provincetown's allure as seen through a colorful cubist fracturing of its roads, rooftops, wharves and waters. Lazzell produced hundreds of prints of enduring quality and quiet beauty, both abstract and representational, but when she first attended Hofmann's 1937 summer session, the balance had tipped toward the representational.

A better habitat for Monet's waterlilies May 19, 2006
Most striking, though, is how these paintings, particularly those of dusk, come close to abstraction; it is as if this master of Impressionism had chosen to leap beyond post- Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism and other new movements and prepare the way for Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko more than two decades later. After World War II, Monet was himself somewhat out of vogue. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)
