Modern trends in art

The founder of the modern movement in art can be considered modernism, which is a generic definition of such diverse phenomena of the last century, like Fauvism, futurism, expressionism, surrealism, cubism etc. the Goal of artists here – to show that art transcends reality, despite the fact that the works are distinguished by great than before, social orientation, social acuity.

Conceptualism emerged in the 60s as one of the directions of avant-garde art. A feature of this style was the principled rejection information of art only to the phenomenon of consciousness. The work of the conceptualists, who believed that art is a source of communication and information, associated with inscriptions, documents, texts and everything that is somehow connected to the field of language. This was done by various techniques, in which the result was a collage of newspaper clippings, medical x-rays, raw footage, neotremontirovannyh portraits.

In 70-80 of the last century trends in art are characterized by a discharge from conceptualism, and a return to pictorialism, color. More and more artists are beginning to realize their ideas not on canvas, in photography. Modern technologies are developing, which can not influence the techniques and capabilities of the craftsmen.

At the same time, and up until the early 90-ies in our country attended the so-called Sots-art. In the works of artists of modern art was attended by irony, humor and a sarcastic attitude to propaganda and ideological clichés that in abundance were dissolved in the mass consciousness of the Soviet people. We can say that this style was a seamy social realism.
