Text Summary
At the beginning of the twentieth century a new art had been introduced, its concept being "expression". More artists are wanting to express themselves rather than sticking to the traditional and classical art from the 19th century. This was the impact of the modern condition which was being felt across Europe.
It is indicated that the "ideologies of the universal" are expressed in modernism. Paris was the main place of these events. The three stages of the dynamic of the modern were: Modernisation, Modernity and Modern. Modernisation describes the processes of scientific and technological advance such as the increase in impact of machines. Modernity refers to the social and cultural condition of such changes, a form of experience of change and adaption.Modernism is the cultural response to such changes
The responses to these modern conditions varied. One response was a profound pessimism, it was foind that machines were controlling the human loves and creating alienation amongst people. However, an opposite effect of this was felt by others. The poet Marinetti, has been granted a compelling vision of the modern and was the foundr of the futurism movement in art.
Cubism and futurism are forms of responses to modernity and rapidly ditinguished themselves as the paradigm of subsequent avant-garde art. it mattered less what particular subject the artist was address and more on the medium through which the world is represented, it was more about the means of representation.
