modernism in art takes on a very broad area, however in general modernism is considered to handle implications of industrialization on mankind's soul. As we think of the advances from the 19th century, railroads and the telegraph, the recording of sound and the transmittal of sound with the telephone, this era spills over to the 20th century with the advances flying and even flight from our home planet to other orbs in space. How could this be when compared to 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 that it comes as no surprise that modernism these days 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.
When we think of modern art, who springs in your thoughts but Picasso, he with the jarring perspective and bright colors, shaking up the art world because he did in the early 20th century and throughout his long life? Not even impressionism charged the art world so making it ready to expand its consciousness to think about new approaches. If we think of modernism's focus upon introspection, then what artists see inside themselves has to be unique, because each 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 even self-art, for instance body piercing and tattooing.
modernism art - The rejection of traditional art practices alone doesn't make up modernism; the political spectrum has to be considered as well. For example, Dadaism evolved in neutral Switzerland concerning the period of the First World War, with its nationalism and colonial entanglements breeding war and confusing the populace about the exact causes of 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, because the birth of the movement began during wartime and did not last long after hostilities ceased. The advocates of the movement managed to move on to other pursuits in everyday life after they had had their say. Dadaism may be said to have executed its purpose after which quit, a purely intellectual genre of modernism that must have proved gratifying to the people who aspire to modernism's increased exposure of speed.
By emphasizing the 'new', modernism by necessity rejects the old and even seems to despise it, because the concepts of modernism preclude formality as well as the old ways of painting, with brush and canvas and studio sittings. By using impressionism's open air techniques, it is all totally out in the open for all to see the process as the piece is being made. Nothing hidden, nothing subtle, everything open, seems to be the modus operandi. Yet modernism possibly forgets that today's modern man will probably be obsolete in a few years or so and will look back on this day and laugh at his perceptions and conceits; it's one of the drawbacks of recent thought that seeks to be always new and exciting.
