• The Arts & Crafts Movement – an international design movement between 1866 and 1930 which sought to remove the distinction between “art” and “craft”. It stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and often applied medieval, romantic or folk styles of decoration. 
• Orphism – an offshoot of Cubism that focused on pure abstraction and bright colors, influenced by Fauvism and theoretical writings of Paul Signac.
• Rayonism – a style of abstract art that developed in Russia in 1911.  Inspired by Cubism and Futurism, the movement sought an art that floated beyond abstraction, outside of time and space, and to break the barriers between the artist and the public.
• Suprematism – an art movement, founded by Kazimir Malevich in Russia, in 1915, that focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors.
