Late Modernism

Late Modernism is a cultural and artistic movement that developed in the mid-20th century, building upon earlier Modernism. It reflects a period of experimentation with new forms, fractured perspectives, and skepticism towards absolute truths or traditional structures. Artists and writers often questioned conventions, emphasizing individual experience and subjective reality. Late Modernism also engages with the complexities and uncertainties of a rapidly changing world, embracing ambiguity and nuance. It’s characterized by diversity in styles and ideas, moving away from the more uniform approaches of early Modernism, and often explores themes of alienation, fragmentation, and the search for meaning in a complex society.
