What Is Modern Asian Art?
Modernism developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, amid the throes of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of progressive political movements. Industrialization, urbanization, rapid social changes, and advances in science and the social sciences overthrew established systems of order and meaning around the world, from Paris to New Delhi to Tokyo. In the arts, modernists and the avant-gardist idealized personal freedom and individualism, advocated the destruction of traditional orthodoxy to create radically new forms of culture, and championed the spirit of self-expression and experimentation."
