Modernism

This lecture was about Modernism and understanding exactly what modernism is in art. To simplify it, Modernism was a cultural movement that effected all kinds of media. The point of it was to outright reject tradition. Instead, modernism took the approach of doing old things in ways that are not thought of as obvious solutions. Examples of modernist artists are Picasso, Mondrian, Matisse, Kandinsky and Braque.

I still slightly struggle to understand exactly what modernism is, I often got I confused with Art Deco, but I feel like if I ever saw a piece of modernist art I could know it was modernist art without being told, especially with modernist architecture.
