	Toyism Art Movement absolutearts.com
		On 24 February 1993, the Toyism art movement was first introduced to the Dutch public.
		In the first 7 years the Toyists used in their art simple (fairy tale) stories, simple colour positions and the use of always returning image elements, as for instance the computer and the space shuttle.
		As a figurative style, Toyism originates from an impulse for innovation and as a reaction to the age of the Ego.

	WWN: Women's Art Movement
		As with the women’s movement in general, white women originally dominated the women’s art movement, however women of color and lesbian and bisexual artists were present and influential from the beginning.
		Exploring the kind of art women make when creating from their own life experiences led to a call for a re-examination of the criteria that defined what art and which artists were to be valued.
		The women’s art movement has championed the idea that gender is socially and not naturally constructed; validated non-"high art" forms such as craft, video and performance art; questioned the cult of "genius" and "greatness;" and placed an emphasis on pluralist variety rather than concepts of totalizing universalism.

	Pop Art - MSN Encarta
		One of the most important artistic movements of the 20th century, pop art not only influenced the work of subsequent artists but also had an impact on commercial, graphic, and fashion design.
		The historical antecedents of pop art include the works of Dadaists (see Dada) such as the French artist Marcel Duchamp, as well as a tradition, in U.S. painting of the 19th and early 20th centuries, of trompe l'oeil pictures and other depictions of familiar objects.
		The pop art movement itself, however, began as a reaction against the abstract expressionist style of the 1940s and 1950s, which the pop artists considered overly intellectual, subjective, and divorced from reality.

	www.saulwilliams.com: last great art movement
		Modern art is such a broad blanket term that to refer to it as a movement in general would be ridiculous, but some powerful statements came out of certain facets.
		Contemporary art has abandoned its function as the visual wing of the house of poetry and morphed into a freckless transgressive subdivision of the entertainment industry.
		There will always be "post art" mass production but the true reason behind real artists' obsession and craving to create in order to breathe is not something that can be generically stamped into the souls of humans.

		Chicano art is a straightforward activist, political (in the sense of "choosing a side" on an issue), and didactic art form that calls on the viewer to educate him or herself about the cultural origin of the art and the intentions of the artists in order to appreciate and understand it.
		In the case of Chicano and Chicana art and artists, it is the self- chosen, and highly symbolic name and public self-identification as "Chicano/Chicana artists," as well as the social-aesthetic concerns of their works that binds them together in the creative waters of Contemporary American art.
		The art which was documented in the slides which will accompany the packets, includes photographs of original works of art, but also many photographs of the very real interdisciplinary process and context in production and exhibition of Chicano art, which at times gives new meaning to the concept of the visual arts.
