 Architectur

e
Modern architecture, or modernist architecture,
was an architectural movement or architectural
style based upon new and innovative technologies
of construction, particularly the use of glass, steel,
and reinforced concrete; the idea that form should
follow function (functionalism); an embrace of
minimalism; and a rejection of ornament.

Painting
The modern period of art history witnessed the
demolition of traditional restrictions, in terms of both
form (the appearance of art) and content (the subject
matter). The most prominent innovation in form was
the rise of increasingly distorted painting styles,
culminating in the birth of abstract art. In terms of
content, painting of the modern period tends to feature
ordinary, everyday scenes, as opposed to the
traditional “lofty” subjects (biblical, mythological,
historical).
Music

The Modern Era has been a period of

turbulent change in musical style and taste.
Many modern “art-music” composers have
explored untraditional sounds and have
based their music on rhythm, texture and
tone color, instead of the more traditional
aspects of melody and harmony.
 Literature
Modern artists, who deliberately sought to
break with traditional styles, innovated a
wide range of new aesthetics. Modern
literature can be broadly divided into two
approaches, realism and radicalism, both
of which can be traced back to ca. 1850.
