To track all directions in the history of art can be very difficult matter. We know that post-impressionism was preceded by Impressionism, but what Fauvism and Futurism look like? And how different are the styles? Fortunately, Outmane Amahou, Moroccan France-based Graphic Designer has created a perfect series of posters to help us remember the basic art styles. He called the series “Minimalist Art Movement Posters». Noteworthy, for each poster he uses a single image. In fact, silhouettes on a bright solid color background perfectly capture the essence of the many areas of art history.

The head of the school was Matisse, who has accomplished a complete break with the optical color. In his picture female nose could well be green, if it gave her expression and composition. Matisse stated, “I do not draw women; I paint pictures”.
