Modern Arts

About

Modern art refers to artistic works produced in the period from the 1860s to the 1970s, characterized by a break with tradition and the use of new forms, materials, and techniques. This period saw the development of various movements such as Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, which have had a profound impact on the art world and continue to be influential to this day. Modern art challenges traditional notions of beauty and seeks to express the inner emotions and experiences of the artist, often using abstract and non-representational forms. It is a vibrant and dynamic field that continues to evolve and inspire new generations of artists and art lovers.

Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. He created more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches, during his lifetime. Most of his best-known works were created in the final two years of his life, during which time he cut off part of his ear and spent time in an asylum. His paintings are notable for their bold colors and emotional intensity, and they have had a profound impact on modern art. Van Gogh did not achieve widespread recognition during his lifetime, but his work is now celebrated for its striking beauty and emotional power.
