Modern art refers to artworks created from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century that break with traditional forms of representation and explore new, creative modes of expression. It encompasses a wide range of movements and styles:
Modern artists experimented with colour, form and perspective, gradually moving away from realistic depiction. Key movements include Impressionism, which emphasises light and fleeting moments, Expressionism, which conveys powerful emotions, as well as Cubism and abstract art, which break objects down into geometric shapes or dispense with representational forms altogether. Taken as a whole, modern art stands for innovation, individuality and the courage to explore new paths.
Modern art is often confused with contemporary art. Modernism, however, refers to a concluded epoch, whereas contemporary art describes art of the present and engages with current themes and developments.
