| | Modernism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Modernism is a cultural movement that generally includes the progressive art and architecture, music, literature and design which emerged in the decades before 1914. | | | By 1930, Modernism had entered popular culture with "The Jazz Age" and the increasing urbanization of populations, it had begun making systematic challenges to previous art and ideas, and was beginning to be looked to as the source for ideas to deal with the host of challenges faced in that particular historical moment. | | | The "avant-garde" was what Modernism was called at first, and the term remained to describe movements which identify themselves as attempting to overthrow some aspect of tradition or the status quo. |

| | Greenberg: Modernism |
| | Realistic, naturalistic art had dissembled the medium, using art to conceal art; Modernism used art to call attention to art. | | | In the meantime the other cardinal norms of the art of painting had begun, with the onset of Modernism, to undergo a revision that was equally thorough if not as spectacular. | | | The self-criticism of Modernism grows out of, but is not the same thing as, the criticism of the Enlightenment. |

| | What is Art? What is an Artist? MODERNISM: Roots |
| | It is in the ideals of the Enlightenment that the roots of Modernism, and the new role of art and the artist, are to be found. | | | It is generally agreed that Edouard Manet is the first modernist painter, and that modernism in art originated in the 1860s. | | | Simply put, the overarching goal of Modernism, of modern art, has been the creation of a better society. |

| | Ergo, the dessicated priest caste manning the ramparts of the dessicated fortress known as modernism (who are now promoting chaos, disorder) won't be able to hold off the peasant hordes (us) forever. | | | Modernism reminds me of 16th century Mannerism--they're both interesting, and absolutely valid as responses to their times, but essentially reactive art movements to a particularly unsettling environment. | | | In short, Modernism, like Mannerism, is an art form of an Age of Anxiety. |

| | MODERNISM |
| | Modernism's emphasis on functional requirements, upon rational problem solving and scientific rigour, was principally derived from this third source. | | | Modernism became a moral crusade to strip away superfluous detail, to serve functional ends and to express materials honestly – concrete was supposed to look like concrete, not pretend to be something else. | | | Thus far we have considered modernism primarily from the standpoint of painting and sculpture. |

| | The first facet or definition of modernism comes from the aesthetic movement broadly labeled "modernism." This movement is roughly coterminous with twentieth century Western ideas about art (though traces of it in emergent forms can be found in the nineteenth century as well). | | | Modernism, as you probably know, is the movement in visual arts, music, literature, and drama which rejected the old Victorian standards of how art should be made, consumed, and what it should mean. | | | Postmodernism, like modernism, follows most of these same ideas, rejecting boundaries between high and low forms of art, rejecting rigid genre distinctions, emphasizing pastiche, parody, bricolage, irony, and playfulness. |

| | Although the discussions will focus on the classical modern art and architecture of both Western and Eastern Europe during the first third of the twentieth century, the implications of the investigation into the methodological structures on which modernism is based will likely affect our appreciation of contemporary culture as well. | | | By charting the conflicting courses, diverse functions, and defining roles of local traditions within the genesis and function of Eastern European modernism, the richness and complexity of modernism universally might be reclaimed and revived. | | | Providing the student with access to the critical vocabularies of postcolonial theory, the course examines key moments in modern art history by way of detailed case studies that will reveal aspects of cross-cultural dialogue in visual culture hitherto obscured by politics and ideology. |
