| | 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. | | | Modernism encouraged the re-examination of every aspect of existence, from commerce to philosophy, with the goal of finding that which was "holding back" progress, and replacing it with new, and therefore better, ways of reaching the same end. | | | 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. |

| | TheCriticalPoet - Featured Movement - Modernism |
| | As with any movement, the evolution and decline of influence is gradual and hard to pin down to specific dates; still, the true birth of modernism in poetry is often dated to the publication of T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1917. | | | Modernism arose from a backlash against Victorian ideals, which now seemed questionable in the widespread turmoil and suffering of the early 20th century. | | | The world seemed to be breaking apart, the meaning of everything was being questioned, and modernism grappled with the fragmentation and complexity brought about by such a state. |

| | 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. | | | Greenberg's first essay on modernism, clarifying many of the ideas implicit in "Avant-Garde and Kitsch", his groundbreaking essay written two decades earlier. |

| | 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. | | | Modernism, for example, tends to present a fragmented view of human subjectivity and history (think of The Wasteland, for instance, or of Woolf's To the Lighthouse), but presents that fragmentation as something tragic, something to be lamented and mourned as a loss. |

| | 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. | | | This is a sprawling subject as Modernism means so many different things in different subject areas. |

| | The large cultural wave of Modernism, which gradually emerged in Europe and the United States in the early years of the 20th century, expressed a sense of modern life through art as a sharp break from the past, as well as from Western civilization's classical traditions. | | | A resident of Paris and an art collector (she and her brother Leo purchased works of the artists Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso, and many others), Stein once explained that she and Picasso were doing the same thing, he in art and she in writing. | | | The childlike quality of Stein's simple vocabulary recalls the bright, primary colors of modern art, while her repetitions echo the repeated shapes of abstract visual compositions. |

| | 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. | | | A discussion of modernism might easily begin in the Renaissance period when we first encounter secular humanism, the notion that man (not God) is the measure of all things, a worldly civic consciousness, and "utopian" visions of a more perfect society, beginning with Sir Thomas More's Utopia in 1516. | | | Simply put, the overarching goal of Modernism, of modern art, has been the creation of a better society. |

| | PAL: American Modernism: A Brief Introduction |
| | A historical definition would say that modernism is the artistic movement in which the artist's self-consciousness about questions of form and structure became uppermost. | | | However, American modernism is inspired by the European avant-garde art; the Renaissance represents the unique and distinct experience of black Americans. | | | Although traditionally the period 1914&endash;1945 has focused on modernism, numerous writers during the period wrote political poetry that may have been influenced by modernism but reflects other artistic intent. |

| | 2blowhards.com: Massengale on Modernism |
| | 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. | | | Although Modernism was meant to be an approach that suited a post-religious age, it quickly took on all the characteristics of a traditional religion, not that it was ever able to deliver the satisfaction and happiness traditional religions sometimes manage to. | | | Modernism -- essentially dead and long gone as any sort of intellectual movement -- strikes me as one of those all-purpose goblins which can be brought out to scare the children. |

| | To me modernism is the unwillingness to color "within the lines." Modernists are provocative: they deliberately violate boundaries to get your attention, to get you to notice things that might otherwise escape your notice. | | | Modernism discovered that they cannot be rendered by rant, or even monologue, however comic. | | | But who has heard of Dedekind?" Yet it was an 1872 pamphlet of Richard Dedekind's that first, to use the terminology of 19th-century positivism, "rigorized" modernism's generic concept -- which, as Everdell reveals, is discontinuity. |

Is Postmodernism a Myth? |
| | I concur entirely with you that modernism is a bad thing, and postmodernism is a part of it. | | | What I don't hear you recognizing is that postmodernism is the *self-destructive ending* of modernism, the realization that the modernist mindset leaves nothing to be done but to unravel it all. | | | Modernism has been the *enemy* of Biblical Christianity, which is why I continue to identify much more strongly with my Fundamentalist forebears (who knew this well) and my evangelical brethren (who have been fishy on the point), even though I am more acculturated to the broader evangelical way of life, now. |

| | Postmodernism has manifestations in many modern academic and non-academic disciplines: philosophy, theology, art, architecture, film, television, music, theatre, sociology, fashion, technology, literature, and communications are all heavily influenced by postmodern trends and ideas, and are thoroughly scrutinised from postmodern perspectives. | | | Since Modernism had made the Enlightenment a central source of its superiority over the Victorian and Romantic periods, this attack amounted to an indirect attack on the establishment of modernism itself. | | | Crucial to these are the denial of customary expectations, the use of non-orthogonal angles in buildings such as the work of Frank Gehry, and the shift in arts exemplified by the rise of minimalism in art and music. |
