Modernism in Art, Late 19th and Early 20th Century

Note that placing an artist in a particular category does not imply that that person is fully described by that category or completely fits there. In many cases (e.g., Picasso), there is experimentation with many styles and approaches. In others (e.g., Seurat), there is an argument to be made that he is impressionist, and another to be made that he is anti-impressionist.
