One of the most wonderful things about art is that it can come in so many different forms. Even narrowing it down to visual art, there is an extensive and impressive list of genres and periods. And each of these periods has its own unique style with its own unique list of geniuses that defined that age or era. One of the most celebrated of those periods is modern art.
Modern art can be understood as the artwork created roughly from 1860 to as recent as 1970. As the name would suggest, modern art implies that it is a break from the past. As such, experimentation is one of the hallmarks of this period. Whether you’re admiring modern sculptures or modern oils on canvas, modern art is much more likely than any other movement to use unexpected materials and general abstraction.
