As an artist, when I think of modern art, I think art has been created
recently, and trying to think of a larger scope of history, I think of
the latter than in the past 100 years. In many ways, this is right, but
not completely. In the world of art, different art styles and isms
known. This probably sounds familiar to you from an old college
humanities class. It is likely that he learned on naturalism,
romanticism, realism, impressionism, and more. Well, some of these isms
are heads main categories with many sub-isms under them, and that's true
with modernism.
Modernism was a movement that encompasses all
that is in other movements. Modernism took place during the first part
of the 20th century, and even sub-categories in modernity can be very
different from each other, they do have in common the rejection of
naturalism and scholarship, the two styles that followed the rigid rules
of paint that could be taught in school, and that closely resembled the
natural world. Instead Modernists favored the experimental art.
The modern world is changing, so that art had to change too. Modern art
and explores the modern world again, and the artists decided to do this
in several ways. But regardless of the chosen form of expression, all
forms are an exploration of each artist's own vision of life in their
own way. Some of the sub-isms of modernity, and to explore include:
Expressionism, which explores the emotions and states of mind,
constructivism, which focuses on the social, Surrealism tries to express
the unconscious mind, and cubism, which explores the nature of
representation.
These are just some of the trends covering
modernism, some are very different, and others overlap with each other,
but all these artists, art is a way of discovering the truth, it is a
modern truth of Futurism or universal, a truth of Suprematism. They all
tried, in his way, to seek answers to fundamental questions about the
nature of art and human experience.
Modernism lasted about
three quarters of the 20th century and the 1970s, modern artists moved
in Post Modernism. Surprisingly, the architects who took the lead in the
development of Modernism Post, but much of the modern visual art note
is a critique of modern society.
Understanding a little about
modernity and modernism message is useful when it comes to modern art.
It is also good to be familiar with the jargon of the art world, to use
it properly, especially to avoid confusion when talking to the experts.
So back to the question of what is modern art? For the artist, all the
art created in the last 100 years is modern art because modern times
refers to current or recent. Modern art, in my opinion, includes all
these isms. Modern art does not appear to directly address the issue,
but it is abstract. It is more difficult to understand but sometimes
understanding is a mute point, art is to be enjoyed.
