The works date back to Impressionism in the 1870s and progress through practically
every succeeding modern art movement — Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop art and more — up to the art of the 1980s and»90s.

art was (and still is) one of the most popular styles of
art, which
succeeded in getting through to the general public in a way that few
modern art movements did - or have done since.
