Dutch Modernism

Dutch Modernism is an early 20th-century artistic movement in the Netherlands that embraced innovation and experimentation, breaking away from traditional styles. It aimed to reflect modern life through abstract forms, bold colors, and new techniques, often inspired by movements like Cubism and Expressionism. Artists focused on portraying emotional depth and societal changes, emphasizing individual perspective. This approach challenged classical notions of beauty and realism, fostering a dynamic environment for creativity that continues to influence contemporary art in the Netherlands.
