1910s-1970s Art

Art from the 1910s to the 1970s underwent rapid innovation, reflecting societal changes and new ideas. Early 20th-century movements like Cubism and Surrealism challenged traditional perspectives by exploring abstraction and subconscious imagery. The mid-century saw the rise of Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing spontaneous, emotional creation. Post-World War II, Pop Art emerged, popularizing imagery from mass media. Minimalism and Conceptual Art further de centered form and material, focusing on ideas. Throughout, artists sought to push boundaries, question norms, and express individual and collective identities, shaping modern art's diverse landscape.
