modernism in art represents 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 with the 19th century, railroads and the telegraph, the recording of sound and also the transmittal of sound from the telephone, this era spills over into the 20th century with the advances in flight and even flight far from our home planet with other orbs in space. How could this be when compared to the struggle for mere existence that folks endured from time immemorial up until 1969, when man walked upon our moon? Art, ever reflective of true to life, mimics the stresses and strains, joys yet still moments of the artist's own life, in whatever era he lives in, so 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.
Whenever we think of modern art, who springs in your thoughts but Picasso, he with the jarring perspective and bright colors, shaking the art world while he did in the early Twentieth century and throughout his endurance? Not even impressionism charged the art world so making it ready to expand its consciousness to take into account new approaches. When we think of modernism's focus upon introspection, then what artists see inside themselves must be unique, because every person 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 own uniqueness. How he is doing 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 doesn't 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, using its nationalism and colonial entanglements breeding war and confusing the populace about the exact factors behind why they were at war. Dadaism called itself anti-war, anti-intellectualism and anti-bourgeois; actually, it was pro-chaos, and in perhaps an ironic way, considering that 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 your life after they had had their say. Dadaism might be said to have executed its purpose and then quit, a purely intellectual genre of modernism that must have proved gratifying to people who aspire to modernism's emphasis on speed.
By emphasizing the 'new', modernism by necessity rejects the old and even seems to despise it, since the concepts of modernism preclude formality as well as the old ways of painting, with brush and canvas and studio sittings. Through the use of impressionism's open air techniques, things are out in the open for all to determine the process as the piece is being made. Nothing hidden, nothing subtle, everything open, appears to be the modus operandi. Yet modernism possibly forgets that today's modern man is going to be obsolete in a few years roughly and will look back on this day 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.
modernism in art - Peter Dranitsin is a self taught and self representing artist. He spent my youth in the family where his mother a professional artist and his father an expert photographer.
"As a kid growing up Peter took art classes and learned the basic concepts of drawing, painting and sculpture. Peter likes to paint and contribute most of his time creating new paintings. Many people ask him what motivates him to paint - "My abstract art is spontaneous, and creating something beautiful away from something unknown is my motivation in creating new abstract paintings."
