Modernist Movement

The Modernist Movement was an artistic and cultural movement from the late 19th to early 20th century that sought to break away from traditional styles and ideas. It aimed to reflect the rapidly changing world with innovations in art, literature, architecture, and design. Modernists experimented with new techniques, perspectives, and forms, emphasizing originality, individual expression, and a sense of dislocation or ambiguity. They challenged conventions to better capture the complexities and uncertainties of modern life, leading to diverse and often avant-garde works that continue to influence culture today.
