Modernism Bibliography
Introduction
Date The concept of modernism has various definitions depending on the scope of discussion. There is no particular wording to describe it, but it can be confined to a specific timeframe. The term is associated with the developments that happened after world war 1. During this time, the face of humanity had changed, and there were numerous movements that sought to divert from the western and European conventions. Modernism vaguely refers to the changes in the thinking and operation structure of men. Unlike the industrial era definition that was tied to scientific and mechanical discoveries, modernism referred to the divergence from the Victorian era and aimed at exploiting new thinking and operation patterns. Modernism could be viewed in art; it could be associated with architecture and literature. The period did not last long as western institutions sought to return to old paths and habits in the society. It was during the late 20th century that a return of old art, literature, and architecture resurfaced. In this bibliography, we will focus on the modernism era and define different aspects of the era to understand their impact on society and how people related to them.
Modernism in Art Education
Clahassey, P., 1986. Modernism, post Modernism, and art education. Art education, 39(2), pp.44-48. The author is one of the most prominent artists and authors of art, and she had an insightful career in the field. She was part of the faculty at College of Saint Rose. While in the school, she specialized the art program and ensured that it was elaborate enough for the student population to understand. She was also an artist and an avid visitor of museums to see different types of art to get perspective. Her insights on the topic of modernism are hence written from a professional perspective, and in this article, she defines the timeline of modernism, its motivations, and eventually the decline. She specifies that the era started in 1874, unlike other articles claiming it started after World War 1. However, she notes that the diversion and independence of ideas was not a one-day event, and over time, the art pieces started becoming prominent as people embraced their ideas. The article is written from an author’s perspective, and the intended audience should understand the dynamics of art. Her dating is precise, and the explanation of certain events is discernible. She affirms that the events that led to the rise of modernism of art were motivated by individual thoughts and people embraced them because they viewed the western culture to be failing. Gradually, their ideas faded as European ideas were embraced because they were associated with the order.
