Art historians typically define 20th century art as a succession of well-defined movements from Cubism to Pop Art. From the late 1940s through the 1960s, Gesture and Color Field painting were the two competing trends in abstract art. Since 1970, numerous styles have emerged, characterizing this time period by a variety of imagery, style, media and subject matter. Artists have used new and old media to challenge conventional wisdom about the world and expectations about art.
