Modernism is anything modern, right? Maybe…
But this art vanguard of the XX C. carries everything and anything you can imagine. Anyone that is called contemporary or who is an artist that considers himself contemporary, or anything never done before (which is practically impossible as all has been done) and is laid out as «art» is part of this vast, never-ending movement. Why is it never-ending? Because we are always moving toward the modern. For something to be contemporary it has to exist in the here and now but in a few years it will be ancient…
One of the movements, or styles or genres that developed with the idea of modernism is «conceptual art». I don’t really have much to say about it except that the «Queen» is Yoko Ono and the «Grandmother» is Marina Abramović.
Let me know what you think of «modernism» and I really want to know what you think, is Yayoi Kusama really Yoko Ono? Hmm…
Cheers…
A thought-provoking and engaging reflection on modernism and conceptual art. I appreciate how you encourage readers to question what «modern» truly means and invite discussion rather than offering fixed answers.
Your comparisons and observations spark curiosity and remind us that art is not only about what we see, but also about the ideas and conversations it inspires. Thank you for sharing another insightful perspective that challenges us to think more deeply about creativity and artistic expression.
