The history of art focuses on objects made by humans for any number of spiritual, narrative, philosophical, symbolic, conceptual, documentary, decorative, and even functional and other purposes, but with a primary emphasis on its aesthetic visual form. Visual art can be classified in diverse ways, such as separating fine arts from applied arts; inclusively focusing on human creativity; or focusing on different media such as architecture, sculpture, painting, film, photography, and graphic arts.
The history of Western painting represents a continuous, though disrupted, tradition from antiquity until the present time. Until the mid-19th century it was primarily concerned with representational and Classical modes of production, after which time more modern, abstract and conceptual forms gained favor. Initially serving imperial, private, civic, and religious patronage, Western painting later found audiences in the aristocracy and the middle class. From the Middle Ages through the Renaissance painters worked for the church and a wealthy aristocracy.

Leurs « synchronies » abstraites, basées sur une approche de la peinture qui associait la couleur à la musique, ont été parmi les premières peintures abstraites de l'art américain. Bien qu'il ait été de courte durée et n'ait pas attiré beaucoup d'adhérents, le synchromisme est devenu le premier mouvement artistique d'avant-garde américain à recevoir une attention internationale.
