Art became popular with the influence of religion. Many art forms and techniques were introduced to primarily spread religion and regain faith . Baroque art flourished in 17th century Europe as a reaction to the reducing glory of religion among people. It was used as an instrument for bringing back the piety and awe for the church. It aimed to bring art closer to people through its subjects and techniques. Baroque art is known for its grandeur and opulence which is evident in its intricate details, vibrant colours and luminous clarity of work. The allegorical depictions are both real and dramatic. The art works have sensual richness, intense emotion and movement. This dramatic realism uses light and dark at its convenience. There is evident blurring of boundaries between the subjects.
The rich cultural diversity of Indian art is well reflected in the vivid, distinct and enchanting folk art and crafts. Various painting styles are prevalent across various regions, each representing tradition, customs, and ideologies passed on from one generation to other.
India is a country of diversity but the expression “unity in diversity” suits it better. The country is a homeland for diverse languages, cultures, religions and traditions. All this diversity coexists in peace and harmony. India is a country that is celebrated for its brotherhood and acceptance. No great land has ever accepted these many religions and cultures with an embracing arm. India is a country rich in art, heritage and cultural opulence. It is the land of colours, sadhus and hope. All these things stand as a legacy and testimony to India’s great history. Same as diversity, secularism is another term that defines the country. As we celebrate the 75th Independence day this year, it is the best time to cherish all its history, valour, struggle and successes. Let us take a look at some of the artworks and paintings that focus on themes that define India.

In the aftermath of the First World War, a group of artists in Zurich, Switzerland, sought to rebel against the conventional values of art and society. They called themselves the Dadaists, and their movement was marked by a strong sense of anti-art, anti-bourgeoisie, and anti-establishment. Dadaism was born, and it was to become one of the most influential artistic movements of the 20th century.

Nonetheless, women have resiliently used art to tell their stories, and challenge the status quo. They have continued to create and innovate, leaving a lasting legacy in the world of art.
By the early twentieth century, urban representation fractured dramatically. With Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the city was broken into planes, angles, and intersecting geometries. Today, abstract cityscapes stand at a compelling intersection of history and immediacy.
