The others were slightly revolutionary, but they did not cause huge movements. Impressionism and Cubism were pivotal in the evolution of art, while the others are end notes.

i feel like we are arguing the same basic point
but, how was cubism more revolutionary than the other movements, if anyything Dada would of been the pivotal changing point as this fully questioned the basis of what actually is art, if there was no Dada then movements such as Pop art and the focus of consumerism and incorporating poplar culture into art i.e. Cambell soup, Marilyn monreo. and post-moderism.
cubism pretty much abstracted the form from various view points, i wouldnt say it was the most revolutionary, cause that would stay impressionism as it was the first to shift away from the realism and subject matter of the renaissance period
