- Toyism
Toyism is an
art movement that rose to prominence inThe Netherlands in the 1990s. Introduced by an artist using the pseudonym Dejo at the Veenmuseum in 1993, the toyist style of painting emphasizes narrative depictions featuring figurative rather than abstract objects focusing on aspects of the human condition. Stylistically, it features the heavy use of outlining, bold colors and craftsmanship. Toyist artists select a pseudonym and an icon which is incorporated into their paintings.ources
