Modern art
What Is Modern Art?
Modern art is the rejection of the classical and the search for new art forms in painting, sculpture but also in literature, architecture, fashion and the minor arts.
Characteristics of Modern Art
The artistic currents and movements arising in this period have in common the rejection of the traditional, of academicism and influenced by the historical period, the transformation of peoples needs, and experimenting with the use of new materials, new media and above all new forms of art.
How did Modern art come to be?
In the 20th century, the artistic avant-garde wanted to free artists and all people from the bounds of the past and its age-old tenets.
They declared war on classic art, demanding the creation of new forms, free from all moral, ethical, and religious conditioning.
They created sculptures with new shapes and paintings in styles and colors never seen before.
Though the intention may have been laudable, some of the excesses of contemporary art should make us stop and think.
When was Modern art born?
Modern art officially begins at the end of the 19th century with Impressionism.
Commercially, modern art begins with the 20th century and ends around the 1970s, when contemporary art begins.
It doesn’t therefore correspond to the current chronology of artistic periods.
The great currents of modern art
Cubism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Futurism, Dadaism and Divisionism. Each country will experiment new movements according to the historical vicissitudes of the place.
We can therefore say that history and geography play a fundamental role in artistic movements.
