The difference between traditional art and modern art in works

Tradition is the mainstay of modernity, and modernity is the evolution of tradition. Whether in form or spirit, modernity is more and more simplified than tradition, which is inseparable from political change and social development. Traditional art and modernism are a new artistic creation concept and expressive language system. It denies the principle of traditional art, does not think that the main goal of art is to combine the imitation of objective things with the expression of ideal beauty, but emphasizes that art is mainly the product of subjective creation and individual expression. Therefore, it shows a strong personality form and expressive force in the appearance of the picture. Therefore, in the works of modernist artists, works based on objective objects often clearly show the author's artistic processing, such as simplification, deformation, exaggeration, decomposition and combination. The works based on subjective interests are more characterized by abstract composition and geometric processing. Modernist works emphasize the creativity and unfamiliarity of form to express the artistic personality of the creator, so themes and plot themes are generally less used to express the content with social significance, and artistic images with visual characteristics are created through people, still lives and scenery that can be seen everywhere in daily life.
