Modernism
Modernism (the end of the 19th century, the beginning of the 20th century) grew out of opposition to the conservative movements and declared a complete break from existing picturesque traditions. And experimentation – one of the main features of the phenomenon – gave rise to many artistic directions, some of which were in opposition to one another.
The unifying principle of modernism was a thirst for knowledge of truth and reality. A reality that defies rational explanation and can only be based on subjective perception. On this conviction, the almost universal rejection of object painting was based – the desire to look not at the “illusory” materiality but through matter at the very essence of life.
The modernist art was focused enough on itself – on the construction of its laws and the creation of a new artistic language. However, it is here that the field of social protest, in particular, protest against colonial politics and other inequalities is revealed. Familiarity with the “primitive” forms of art gave impetus to the work of creating a “universal artistic unit” that would be understood by everyone.
The directions of modernism include abstract art, cubism, futurism, avant-garde, constructivism, fauvism, dadaism, surrealism and more.
Among the most prominent representatives: Wassily Kandinsky, Alexander Archipenko (or Olexandr Arkhypenko), Marc Chagall, Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, Aleksandra Ekster, Alexander Bogomazov, Pablo Picasso, whose works are in the collection of Adamovskiy Foundation.
