Modernism is a movement that took place worldwide within society and culture from the late 19th century and the early 20th century as the world experienced the development of industrial life.
This term is featured within a vast range of different art movements and so it wouldn’t be singled out by itself but rather used to help describe the nature of other art styles. This includes movements like Cubism, Impressionism, Dada and many more.
Due to the versatility of modernism, artists using greatly differing styles could use it to create their artworks. Some works could be very geometric and simplistic whilst others within this same genre could be naturalistic with bold colour and complex tonal work. This is what I admire about how artists have explored modernism – there are endless modernist art movements that each have their own interpretation of an ever-evolving global revolution.
