Modern art is a style of art that started in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It moved away from traditional techniques and focused on new ideas, creativity, and personal expression. Artists experimented with colors, shapes, and materials in ways that had never been done before. Famous movements like Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism changed how people viewed art. Artists such as Picasso and Pollock used bold colors and unique styles to express emotions and ideas. Modern art was influenced by changes in society, like industrialization and war, and it helped shape today’s contemporary art.
