Modernism, in the fine arts, a break with the past and the concurrent search for new forms of expression. Modernism fostered a period of experimentation in the arts from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, particularly in the years following World War I.

In an era characterized by industrialization, rapid social change, and advances in science and the social sciences (e.g., Freudian theory), Modernists felt a growing alienation incompatible with Victorian morality, optimism, and convention. New ideas in psychology, philosophy, and political theory kindled a search for new modes of expression.

This community, the successor to /r/modernart on reddit, is for the modernist period between roughly 1860-1980. Visual, written, audio, architecture, all of it is valid. IT IS NOT FOR POSTMODERN OR CONTEMPORARY ART AND THOSE POSTS WILL BE REMOVED.
