Secondly, what are the characteristics of Neoclassicism? Well, Neoclassicism Is a style of art that is characterized by Clarity of form, Sober colors, Shallow space, Strong horizontal and verticals that render that subject matter timeless, Classical subject matter (or classicizing contemporary subject matter) Minimal use of color, Emphasis on symmetry, straight lines, and geometric shapes (Khan Academy). Lastly, what was the basic message of the utopian socialists? Well, the utopian socialists believed that society would work better if ruled by everyone, letting everyone work out their own problems, as opposed to a capitalist government.
