Modern/PostModern

Modernism is a period in art dating from around the 1860s through the 1970s. the term modern was used tro describe the ideology and style of the time which was a radical new approach to the present as well as the past. During this period, artist became more involved in the content of their art more so than the process in creating it. Also more experimental art began to be made. This time period is when many of the "avant garde" artist came about, these were the artist that thought way ahead of their time and which were always seen as fore runners of the period. One of the most famous modern artist was Aandy Warhol. Post modernism became art that set into this new industrial age that was beginning in the late 70s. Post modern artist in a way started to become anti-modernist artist and mainly stayed away from the minialism approach that was so popular in modernism and even revived some subjects and genres scorned by modernist.
