Features: Modernist art is an art movement in the West from the late 19th century to the 1950s and 1960s. It is both a reaction against classical art and its development and transcendence. Modernist art was both an artistic revolution and an intellectual earthquake. This book explores various issues of modernist art in a broader artistic context and at a deeper theoretical level. It examines the social and historical background of the emergence of modernism, the relationship between modernist art and tradition, the correspondence between modernist art and modern philosophical thought, and the social, intellectual, and historical issues they reveal. This book is a cultural theory work that discusses the social changes brought about by the significant development of science and technology after the work revolution, and how it promotes profound transformations in art.
