| | 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. | | | Within modernity there were disputes about the importance of the public, the relationship of art to audience, and the role of art in society. | | | Examples include the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. |

| | TheCriticalPoet - Featured Movement - Modernism |
| | But this is a risk the modern poets ran in their attempts to portray the experience of the world though art. | | | The modern poet had a different world from the Victorian poets to contemplate, and thus employed new forms and styles as fitting this new disillusioned world view. | | | 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. |

| | 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. | | | According to Frederic Jameson, modernism and postmodernism are cultural formations which accompany particular stages of capitalism. | | | 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. |

| | Modern art is a source of inspiration for a design which includes pieces by Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore. | | | Thus far we have considered modernism primarily from the standpoint of painting and sculpture. | | | The first attempt at a Modern garden, it is generally agreed, was a design for the 1925 Exposition des Art Decoratif in Paris by an Armenian architect called Gabriel Guevrekian. |

| | 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. |

| | It is generally agreed that Edouard Manet is the first modernist painter, and that modernism in art originated in the 1860s. | | | 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. | | | recently, the word "modern" used to refer generically to the contemporaneous; all art is modern at the time it is made. |

| | 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. |

| | Modernism was art as a way, or rather art as The Way. | | | 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. | | | In short, Modernism, like Mannerism, is an art form of an Age of Anxiety. |

Virginia Woolf thought it happened around the time of an art exhibit in 1910, but British awareness is notoriously belated. |

| | Catholic modernism had a strong foothold in France as well as in Britain and to a lesser extent in the United States, but it was effectively quashed by papal action in the early twentieth century. | | | Anglican modernism was distinctly British, individualistic and compromising, tending to combine Jesus' natural manhood with a doctrine of his divinity. | | | Liberalism had also become too dependent on finding the historical Jesus, and, as Albert Schweitzer showed, the Jesus that researchers were uncovering possessed an apocalyptic world view and assumptions that were quite a variance with their conception of his teaching. |
