Modern art refers to a worldwide movement in culture and society that by the first decades of the twentieth century sought a new alignment with the expertise and values of modern industrial life.
Movements
The beginnings of modern painting cannot be restricted, but there’s general agreement that it began in 19th-century France.
The paintings of Gustave Courbet, Edouard Manet, and the Impressionists represent a deepening rejection of the prevailing academic heritage and a quest for a more naturalistic representation of the visual universe.
The successors can be seen as more modern in their repudiation of traditional practices and subject matter and their expression of a more abstract personal vision.
From around the 1890s on, a series of diverse movements and styles emerged, which are the core of contemporary art and that represent among the high points of Western visual culture.
These modern movements include :
- Neo-Impressionism
- Symbolism
- Fauvism
- Cubism
- Futurism
- Expressionism
- Suprematism
- Constructivism
- Metaphysical painting
- De Stijl
- Dada
- Surrealism
- Social Realism
- Abstract Expressionism
- Pop art
- Op art
- Minimalism
- Neo-Expressioni
Regardless of the tremendous variety seen in these moves, a lot of them are characteristically contemporary in their investigation of the potentials inherent within the painting medium itself for expressing a religious response to the varied conditions of life in the 20th century and beyond.
These conditions include accelerated technological change, the growth of scientific knowledge and understanding, the seeming irrelevance of some standard sources of belief and value, and expanding the consciousness of non-Western cultures.
