Collection: Modernist (late 19th century)

The Revolutionary Art Movement 

Modernism in art emerged in the late 19th century, peaking in the early to mid-20th century. The time in art officially referred to as "Modernism" is often categorized within specific movements such as Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, among others. Collectively, these movements fall under the broader umbrella of Modernist art, which spans roughly from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century.

Modernist art embraced experimentation with form and materials. Prominent artists included Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Marcel Duchamp, who sought to express the realities of modern life through innovative styles.
