Modernism began in the 19th century and continued into around the 70's. Modernism's approach to art is all about stripping down a piece of art into the most simplistic form of just basic lines and colours without containing anything else. Below an example of modernism being as a chair, you can see the clear similarities with the basic colours and lines.
Some may find these pieces of work as pleasing to their eye but that is based on every person's personal taste and opinion and not as a whole. There is not much emotion that is being conveyed in any of modernism's pieces but the idea of simplicity is very dominant. The pieces themselves are designed to be simple and supposed to do exactly where they are supposed to, but in doing so they have stripped themselves of the emotions that are supposed to be felt within the art work. This art follows a strictly cognitive approach but can that truly be called art?
Post Modernism
Post-modernism began around the 1960's and is still going on today. It takes the same approch in the terms of the way it looks as modernism but without stripping out the emotions of the artists. It looks to keep each artist's individual style which are usually form their past experiences which takes it away from the cognitive approach and keeps it more as a piece of art with emotions and experiences.
