Thèmes
Themes in art are those that are directly related to the concerns of their respective periods.
Artistic themes are therefore a perilous attempt to describe the recurring genres and themes in painting, sculpture and all the other so-called "visual" arts that are directly connected to them.
Some examples of themes are the nude, the portrait, the still life, the vanities, the landscape...

Classical art
Classical and Baroque art shared Europe in the 17th century. But the Baroque domination brought such new and strong ideas and forms to the European concert that Classicism could appear only as its antithesis or counterpoint. Although it represents measure and reason, while the Baroque indulges in movement and effect, these two currents are not antinomic: equally attached to representation, they are not opposed. Classicism was mainly expressed in architecture, Baroque in painting and decorative arts; the former appeals to the construction through the closed form, which it defines and isolates, the latter addresses the senses through the open form, extends to the environment and conquers space.

Minimaliste
"An artistic movement that emerged in the mid-1960s in the United States. These artists adopted the motto of the architect Mies Van Der Rohe "Less is more". Minimalism is characterised by simple, smooth and geometric forms. The works are stripped down to the bare essentials and can be experienced physically; one is no longer satisfied with simply looking at them. The artist creates nothing and has no skills: he assembles and combines industrially produced objects."
