Modern Art

Modern Art is defined as a genre of the fine arts created from the mid-19th century which strayed from traditional techniques and styles. Modern is defined as of or relating to the present or recent times as opposed to the remote past. Art is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. After viewing the video content in the blog, I now have a general idea of what Modern Art is. I believe that all of the artists exemplified the true definition of Modern Art. Picasso’s art was raw, real, and uncut, which is most of what we see in the world today. Much of his art showed exactly what he experienced while living. Pollock’s art seemed quite disturbing yet expressive. It’s as if you could tell what he was going through from his paintings. Warhol’s art took modern to the next level. He took one simple picture and made it true art. I would have never thought a picture of a celebrity or some random object could be turned into a powerful art piece.
