| | 20th century classical music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Among the most prominent composers of the 20th century were Béla Bartók, Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Giacomo Puccini, Claude Debussy, Charles Ives, Edward Elgar, Arnold Schoenberg, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, Dmitri Shostakovich, Benjamin Britten, Aaron Copland and Carl Nielsen. | | | Modernism took the progressive spirit of the late 19th century, its love of rigor and of technical advancement, and unhinged it from the norms and forms of late 19th century art. | | | Various movements in 20th century music, including neo-classicism, serialism, experimentalism, conceptualism can be traced to this idea. |

| | The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The 20th Century: Introduction |
| | The boundary-breaking art, literature, and music of the first decades of the century are the subject of the topic “Modernist Experiment.” Among the leading aesthetic innovators of this era were the composer Igor Stravinsky, the cubist Pablo Picasso, and the futurist F. Marinetti. | | | This topic explores the links between Continental experiment and the modernist innovations of English-language poets and writers during a period of extraordinary ferment in literature and the arts. | | | The waves of artistic energy in the avant-garde European arts soon crossed the English Channel, as instanced by the abstraction and dynamism of Red Stone Dancer (1913-14) by the London-based vorticist sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska. |

| | TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERATURE |
| | In a later collection I'm Asking for Pardon (1964), her main characteristic stands out: she is a poet of the world as it is, both good and evil (for which she seeks pardon), and not of how it could be or should be (according to an imperial code). | | | From his first collection (Used to Be a Boy, 1955) to his exceptional last one (The Letter, 1992) he gradually revived the neglected development of symbolist poetry: in his work one finds its artistic brilliance, balanced imagery and spiritual cogency. | | | It is obvious that Serbian literature - in tandem with the leading literature in the other Slavic languages: Russian, Polish and Czech - is simultaneously participating in the literary life of Europe, and in the general development of the art of literature. |
