Modernism as a Cultural Movement : presented by Richard E. Brown (Faculty in English).



Modernism was a cultural movement of wide scope and diversity.  It arose during the late 19th century and evolved through much of the 20th before being deconstructed by Postmodernism.  Modernism was expressed in many of the arts: Visual Art, Architecture, Music, and Literature.  It responded to many scientific, philosophical, and aesthetic influences that were emergent at that time.  It changed everything in an effort to “make it new.”  That tectonic shift in the aesthetic landscape had formative and lasting effects on the contemporary world—a treasured legacy in this Postmodern 21st century.
