The
period of modernism in art and design came from the focus more on
breaking down the bare essentials of what makes things aesthetically
pleasing and using these as the main focus. One of my personal favourite artists was Piet Mondrian who was among the founding
figures of the De Stijl movement in the early 19th
century who created work that used only vertical and horizontal line,
and primary colour which they stated expressed ultimate simplicity
and abstraction. The Bauhaus school of art in Germany during the
modernist period and was a crucial factor in how art is taught in the
modern world, enlisting a range of designers and artists that were
successful and relevant at the time the school created a program of
education that many art courses today still loosely follow and pushed
the simplistic way of thinking that embodied the modernist style.
Modernism is present in all aspects of visual arts today from
architecture and film to graphic design and fine art, the styles core
elements are what make this visually attractive in the first place so
it is always guaranteed to produce successful design.
