modernism in art takes on a very broad area, however in general modernism is considered to handle the implications of industrialization on mankind's soul. If we think of the advances from the 19th century, railroads and the telegraph, it of sound and also the transmittal of sound through the telephone, this era spills over to the 20th century with the advances flying and even flight from our home planet with other orbs in space. How could this be compared to the struggle for mere existence that folks endured from since the beginning up until 1969, when man walked upon our moon? Art, ever reflective of actual life, mimics the stresses and strains, joys and still moments of the artist's own life, in whatever era he lives in, so it comes as no surprise that modernism in the 21st century displays the world of the mostly-urban, mostly-civilized man. Rural scenes still exist, of course, but they are portrayed in vastly variations than in previous ages.

Whenever we think of modern art, who springs in your thoughts but Picasso, he of the jarring perspective and bright colors, shaking the art world while he did in the early 20th century and throughout his endurance? Not even impressionism charged the art world so generating it ready to expand its consciousness to consider new approaches. If we think of modernism's focus upon introspection, then what artists see inside themselves should be unique, because every individual is unique. It is the artist's responsibility to himself and also to society to bring this in such a way as to communicate his or her own uniqueness. How he does this varies from abstract expressionism to cubism to Dadaism to performance art, installation art and also self-art, for instance body piercing and tattooing.

modernism art - The rejection of traditional art practices alone will not make up modernism; the political spectrum should be considered as well. As an example, Dadaism evolved in neutral Switzerland concerning the period of the First World War, having its nationalism and colonial entanglements breeding war and confusing the people about the exact reasons for why they were at war. Dadaism called itself anti-war, anti-intellectualism and anti-bourgeois; in fact, it was pro-chaos, and in perhaps an ironic way, since the birth of the movement began during wartime and didn't last long after hostilities ceased. The proponents of the movement shifted to other pursuits in everyday life after they had had their say. Dadaism might be said to have executed its purpose then quit, a purely intellectual genre of modernism that must have proved gratifying to those who aspire to modernism's focus on speed.

By concentrating on the 'new', modernism by necessity rejects that old and even seems to despise it, because the concepts of modernism preclude formality and also the old ways of painting, with brush and canvas and studio sittings. By using impressionism's open air techniques, things are out in the open for all to determine the process as the piece has been made. Nothing hidden, nothing subtle, everything open, appears to be the modus operandi. Yet modernism possibly forgets that today's modern man will be obsolete in a few years or so and will look back on today and laugh at his perceptions and conceits; it really is one of the drawbacks of recent thought that seeks to be always new and exciting.

"As a kid becoming an adult Peter took art classes and learned the fundamental concepts of drawing, painting and sculpture. Peter loves to paint and contribute all his time creating new paintings. Many individuals ask him what motivates him to create - "My abstract art is spontaneous, and creating something beautiful away from something unknown is my motivation in creating new abstract paintings."
