What Is Modern Art?<\/h2>\n

Modern art is the rejection of the classical and the search for new art forms in painting, sculpture<\/a> but also in literature, architecture, fashion and the minor arts.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of Modern Art<\/h2>\n

The artistic currents and movements arising in this period have in common the rejection of the traditional<\/strong>, of academicism and influenced by the historical period, the transformation of peoples needs, and experimenting with the use of new materials<\/strong>, new media and above all new forms of art.<\/p>\n

How did Modern art come to be<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n

In the 20th century, the artistic avant-garde<\/a> wanted to free artists and all people from the bounds of the past and its age-old tenets.<\/p>\n

They declared war on classic art, demanding the creation of new forms, free from all moral, ethical, and religious conditioning.<\/p>\n

They created sculptures with new shapes and paintings in styles and colors never seen before.<\/p>\n

Though the intention may have been laudable, some of the excesses of contemporary art should make us stop and think.<\/p>\n

When was Modern art born?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Modern art officially begins at the end of the 19th century with Impressionism.<\/p>\n

Commercially, modern art begins with the 20th century and ends around the 1970s, when contemporary art begins.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t\u00a0 therefore correspond to the current chronology of artistic periods.<\/p>\n

The great currents of modern art<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cubism<\/a>, Expressionism, Surrealism, Futurism<\/a>, Dadaism and Divisionism. Each country will experiment new movements according to the historical vicissitudes of the place.<\/p>\n

We can therefore say that history and geography play a fundamental role in artistic movements.<\/p>\n
