When and how of modern art

Over and over again, there have been discussions surrounding the origin of modern art. Some believe it originated in the early 20th century, while others argue that modern art refers to contemporary art that has its roots in the recent past, i.e. around 1950. According to the Tate Modern Art began in 1900.

It cannot be that a beautiful morning in 1900 gave way to modern art. The birth of modern art can be very prior to 1900. In 1863, Édouard Manet painting Olympia-a portrait of a prostitute in Paris. Many critics claim that the style of Manet painting is queerly dish, displaying the lack of emotion and even desire.This painting off-the-track is considered to be the pioneer of modern art by some critics. But if Manet hole a different style, then as one can classify the radicalism of the death of Sardanapalus (1827)-an orgy of sex and drugs free floating pictorial gravity?

At the Rationalized level, there is an artist who can truly be called modern-l ' Spanish artist, Francis Goya. Known for her portrayal of madness and war, Goya continued to surprise his admirers until his death in 1828. However, Italy may take further the whole debate returns to unsettling realism of Caravaggio, who died in 1610.

If modern art is all about experiments of originality and the novel, then Michelangelo (1475-1564) stands unmatched. It was he who has pioneered the idea of artistic originality.If the current generation artists is proud of abstract art, abstract then is nevertheless Brancusi Rondanini Pietà by Michelangelo.

Here rests the irony. Once you push d'Arte Moderna of Michelangelo, the term becomes insignificant.Each generation attempts to break with the past. When we admire the modern art, we do this because it seems urgent and meaningful in the current scenario. the same applies to a cave painting or a sculpture of Frank Stella.
