Modern Art History
An Art Movement encompasses a particular style or trend in visual arts, characterized by specific aesthetic principles, techniques, and ideas. It represents a collective response of artists to their cultural and socio-political contexts. Modern Art Movements emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, breaking away from traditional artistic practices and embracing new forms of expression. These movements often challenged conventional norms and values, reflecting the rapidly changing world of modernity. In sculpture, these movements manifested as a shift towards abstraction, experimentation with materials and techniques, and an emphasis on form over representation.
