Modernism   (art)

In the history of art modernism is used to refer to the period between 1860s and 1970s. In modernism new experimentations were made to develop new and different art. Some of the modern art contains a list of different collages and 3D assemblage, animation and cinematography. Some work in building designs was made nearly the 1900 and some are courtesy of Behrens, le Corbusier, Gropius and others. In American architecture one can see that the Eiffel tower was a great extraordinary design which was made in the modernism. In modernism one can also find many portraits. These were made because of their belief in themselves.
Many of the modern art which was made in this time were for high class people or for institutions like churches. Many of them were based on religious styles or on stories being told in the artwork. Some of the art that was made was based on people, places or things that interested the artist. Some artists also experimented the use of color, non-traditional materials and new techniques and mediums



Example of modern art- Impression, Sunrise (1873)
Artist: Claude Monet

 In this work Monet make the use of loose handling of paint. He made a great focus on the light and the atmosphere within this landscape. This is  considered as the first fully modern movement and has all the characteristics of impressionism. The use of abstraction in his work, Monet shows what he sensed or experienced while making the painting. What Monet observed during the sunrise is showed in a visual impression.
