peter from ctvadim asks, what is the difference between modernism anti-modernism, post-modernism, andcontemporary art? modernism deals with artworks producedroughly from 1860s to the 1970s. it is characterized by throwing out of the old, embracing the new.there is more experimentation, new ways of seeing, new ideas about how art functions.historically it can be tied to the industrial revolution where there is a rapid changes inmanufacturing transportation technology which influenced the social economic andcultural conditions of western europe


and north america. people are moving outurban spaces traveling and having new world views and access to new ideas. the invention of photography also sent painting into an identity crisis. with this new technology that canperfectly replicate scenes what can painting do that photography can not? no more frou-frou mythological or religiousscenes for wealthy patrons, modern art was about the people places and ideas that artist had direct contact with. along with the publication of sigmund freud the interpretation of dreams in 1889artists became more interested in dreams


symbolism and iconography as waysto depict subjective experiences. anti-modernism or counter-modernismrefers to a number of parallel movements that spread throughouteurope following the end of world war i given the collective name of le rappel a lordre meaning return to order, theyrejected the extreme avant-garde art and took notes fromtraditional art instead. in particular futurism was brought into focus. they were a group of anti-traditionalistswho celebrated technology to the point of praising machinery in violence and powerand condemned the culture of the past


in defiance of history and tradition. however there is abreak when futurist follwers broke off from the pack. in particular severini and carra became followers of giorgio de chirico. picasso and braque abandoned cubism. picasso produced work in a neoclassical style that recalled the work of raphael and ingres. this trend was evident in many artists working in the nineteen twentiesincluding deran, metzinger, artists of the new objectivity and the novecento italiano movement. postmodern art is a body of art movements around 1960s


dates can be hard to pinpoint the idea of what is considered art is expanded to mixed media, installation, conceptual art and video art. we begin to see bricolage, collage, simplification, appropriation, performance art. the distinction between high and low artand popular culture is blurred there is a sense of immediacy and the present that you do not see in modern art. perhaps it is easiest to see in pop art of andy warhol and roy lichtenstein.


now is the hardest part of this video whichis defining what contemporary art is. contemporary art isbasically art since modernism, but then you have the problem of: well, when did modernism end? some may define itas art made within our lifetime, but lifetime is a variable so that is not veryuseful and some will also say thatcontemporary art is a large umbrella that postmodernism fits under. the first use of the termcontemporary art can be traced to 1910 by critic roger fry for the contemporary art society in london.


as modern art became more of a historical art movement, modern ceased to mean contemporary art, and they needed a new term to talk about art made in the present. there is not a clear cut from one toanother, and many institutions actually use the term modern and contemporary art to avoid this distinction altogether. in the end, not everyone is going to agreeand people are constantly proposing and refining ideas. in the meantime i hope you learnedsomething new thanks again to peter for asking thisquestion. if you do not know who he is i will go ahead and his channel down below.he is also doing this fantastic project
