Is it true that art styles don't have names, only descriptions?

Can you give an example? This sentence is pretty nonsensical in its own.

For example, Bauhaus is a name of a kind of art, but it is not a description. In fact, it is the name of a place where the art style originated.

So maybe the answer is just, no.

Hmmm. A quick web search gives you at least 30 art style names.
