• Abstractism — A doctrinal, artistic, and philosophical movement manifested predominantly in the visual arts of the 20th century, characterized by the deliberate rejection of figurative representation and the three-dimensional illusion of reality. It promotes the idea that geometric shapes, lines, and pure colors can express a spiritual or emotional reality superior to the objective one.
• Arts and Crafts — An international artistic, aesthetic, and social movement that emerged in Great Britain during the mid-19th century, initiated by William Morris and John Ruskin, which advocated for the revitalization of traditional crafts, simple design, the use of natural materials, and high-quality manual craftsmanship. The movement developed as a direct reaction against massive industrialization, poor-quality mass production, and the artificial decorative forms characteristic of the Victorian era.
