Modernism is a movement that attempts a radical break with previous ideas in art, literature, philosophy, culture, and social organization. It emphasizes experimentation, abstraction, and subjective experience across various disciplines. It emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in response to significant changes in Western culture, including secularization and the growing importance of science. The movement was influenced by widespread technological innovation, industrialization, and urbanization, as well as the particular cultural and geopolitical shifts that occurred after World War 1.[2] Artistic movements and techniques associated with modernism include abstract art, stream of consciousness in literature, cinematic montage, atonal & twelve-tone music, and modern architecture.[3]
The movement is seen as a rejection of nineteenth-century realism and the romantic concept of absolute originality. The avant-garde at the beginning of the twentieth century challenged Romanticism's idea of "creation from nothingness," with its techniques of collage,[4] reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision, parody[a][b][5], and a critical stance towards Enlightenment rationalism. Another feature of modernism is reflexivity about artistic and social conventions, which led to experimentation that highlighted both how works of art are made and the material from which they have been created.[6] Debate continues about the timeline of modernism, with some scholars arguing that it evolved into late modernism or high modernism.[7] Postmodernism rejects many of the principles of modernism.[8][9][10]
