The chaos of World War I and the Russian Revolution (1917) shatter many conventional ideas in the world of painting and sculpture, leading to numerous avant-garde movements. These include,
Futurism (1909-15), which promoted a worship of machinery and modernity;
Dada (1916-24) which used banal imagery to shock;
Constructivism (1917-21) a Russian avant-garde architectural art style

The advent of Photrealism (sometimes referred to as superrealism), a form of meticulous photo-like realism, championed by Richard Estes (street scenes with elaborate window reflections)
1980s-present
the age of post modernism
Contemporary art movements take the view that the 'substance' of Modernism has performed no better, and must be dumped in favour of greater style. Post-modernism thus represents the triumph of style over substance. Post-modernist art typically employs new media and materials, stresses the importance of 'communication' from artist to audience and seeks to renew the big question: what is art? is is reflected in contemporary art forms such as assemblage, conceptual art, installation, video art,and Performance,
as well as the works of such showmen as Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George, the environmental 'artists' Christo and Joanne-Claude, and the nude installationist Spencer Tunick. While the ephemeral nature of this contemporary art is fully consistent with global trends of instant gratification,
