What to look for

Modernism: this is an umbrella rather than a style; look for the narrower movement first (Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism) and use Modernism when none fits.

Konstantin Andreyevich Somov (30 November 1869 – 6 May 1939) was a Russian painter and draughtsman during the Modernist period, best known as co-founding member of the Mir iskusstva society. Wikipedia
