The Transavanguardia movement was part of the international phenomenon of a revival of expressionist painting in the late 1970s and 1980s.
The term Transavanguardia means ‘beyond the avant-garde’.
It was coined by the art critic Achille Oliva in his texts for an exhibition he organized in 1979 in Genanzzano titled Le Stanze.
Neo-Expressionism is an influential art movement that emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction against the minimalism and conceptualism of the 1960s and 1970s.
What was the Transavanguardia movement of the 1980s?
Also known as “New Expressionism,” it gained prominence in the 1980s and became one of the most significant art movements of the time.
Neo-Expressionism revitalized the expressive and emotional aspects of art, placing a strong emphasis on individualism and subjective experience.
Rooted in the traditions of German Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism, Neo-Expressionism rejected the cool detachment of minimalism and instead embraced intense, raw, and energetic forms of artistic expression.
