Characteristics of Modernist Painting

Modernist art, that is, various artistic schools and ideological trends with avant-garde characteristics and parting ways with traditional literature and art since the 20th century, is also called modernist art ... Modernist art has many schools, such as Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Abstraction, Futurism, Surrealism and so on. Pay attention to the ideological content of modernist works. Traditional art emphasizes the description of content and plot, which makes it easy for the audience to enter the picture situation. Modernist art emphasizes form, despises plot content, and even completely abandons (such as abstraction). When we appreciate this kind of works, it is impossible to follow the content of the picture like traditional painting, but we need to turn to explore the expression of its inner subjective world. Only in this way can we fundamentally grasp the characteristics of the work and arouse the appreciation of the author and the form of the work.
