History of Modern Art

Many people fall in love with the antique art pieces. In fact, in

every artifact, you can find a beautiful meaning that is

portrayed in the form of a painting. Basically, modern art was

produced during the year 1870 to 1970. There are many

artists who love to do modern art. In fact, there are many

institutes who offer modern art courses for the interested

candidates. The modern artists have refrained using the bygone

traditions in painting and did a lot of experiments in producing

stupendous paintings that are commendable. They tried different

forms of paintings using unique techniques, different materials,

and developed new theories on how actually art should portray

the world and what all things that an artist have to perceive in

order to reflect exactly his thoughts on the painting board.

Moreover, during 180 to 1970, there are umpteen art forms

were being developed. As per the history, the modern art was

observed by a Frenchman called Edouard Manet during the

18th century. But, it was believed that the modern art was

started before Frenchman by Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, as

the arts drew by these people lack traditional academic art

form in between 18 and 19th century. After Pre-Raphaelites,

there are different amendments and movements took place in

the art world. And, those path breaking movements include Art

Nouveau, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Dada,

Surrealism, and Pop-Art, Orphism, Social Realism, Op-Art,

Feminist art, etc. In fact, the modern art also gave birth to a

medium called photography that is taking the art world by

storm in today's era. Apart from photography, the other art

forms that are developed in the recent times include animation,

collage, cinematography, etc. However, modern art has no trend

to categorize it, but was developed after cubism in terms of

abstract art, i.e. painting and sculpture. In today's era, modern

art is being explored in different forms such as Constructivism,

Suprematism, Colour Field, Op-Art, etc. Basically, many of the

modern artists will reject the past art as they believe that those

arts do not help in the development of new art forms and do

not help the new artists in any way. Moreover, industrial

revolution gave new ideas for the artists and they are evincing

interest in bringing the change in the way they paint the fine

arts. Moreover, modern art is considered to be much closer to

portraying their views about the world is being better

represented in modern art over the art in the preceding

centuries. There are many different kinds of art styles that are

being defined during 1860 to 1960 and it is quite cumbersome

for the people to find which art has actually defined the

modern art. The key difference between modern artists and the

traditionalists is that, self-belief. Basically, art is being valued and

appreciated by the people, if it portrays some important values

of life.
