6. WHAT IS MODERN ART?
There is no precise definition of the term "Modern Art", although
it usually refers to works produced during the approximate period
1870-1970. Typically, modern artists rejected previous Renaissance-
based traditions, in favor of new forms of artistic experimentation.
They used new materials, new techniques of painting, and developed
new theories about how art should reflect the perceived world, and
what their functions as artists should be. In addition, entirely new
types of art were developed during the period.
According to most art critics, Modernism in painting first started with
the Frenchman, Jean Claude Monet, and the French Impressionists,
for its rejection of traditional academic art forms of the 18th and early
19th century.
