Revolutionizing the Visual Arts
Modern art is generally considered to have started around the late 1800s, when artists began to experiment with new forms of expression outside of the traditional academic style. The major turning points in modern art development include Cubism, Surrealism, Italian Futurism, and the development of Abstract Expressionism in the mid-20th century.
These movements were often characterized by experimental, unconventional techniques and the exploration of new subject matter, and they fundamentally transformed our understanding of art as a form of communication.
Artists such as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, and Jackson Pollock emerged as major figures in the Modernist movement.
While Modern art was initially met with resistance, it quickly became one of the most influential movements in the history of art and continues to impact the art world today.
