The term of “modern art” has always been the theme for hot disputes along with the time of origin of modern art movement. Some people believe that modern art movement appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. Some people believe that modern art movement directs to contemporary art that has appeared in the recent past i.e. in the middle of the last century. The experts of the Tate Gallery affirm that modern art movement began in 1900.

But modern art movement was not born on one wonderful morning in 1900. The origination of modern art movement can be much ahead of 1900. A lot of experts have come to the conclusion that the modern art movement was born in 1863 when Edouard Manet created his famous painting Olympia that was a portrait of a Paris prostitute. Some critics affirm that the style of the painting of Edouard Manet is queerly flat, and displays the lack of feelings and even desire. And some critics think that Edouard Manet was a pioneer of modern art movement.

There is also a famous Spanish artist, Francesco Goya. The artist who worked in modern style of painting too. Francesco Goya’s works are very famous, this artist is famous with his pieces of painting where he represented insanity and war. Francesco Goya had been surprising is admirers for his entire life till his death in 1828. However, we also mention the Italian artist Caravaggio who worked in the disturbing realism style and how died in 1610. So, Italy can take the total discussion even further back.

If the essence of modern art movement is in singularity and novel experiments, then we should also talk about Michelangelo who stands unexampled. Because Michelangelo was the artist who discovered the idea of artistic singularity. And this becomes a paradox. The term of “modern art” becomes senseless once you regard modern art to Michelangelo. Every generation tries to separate from past generations. So, the question of the term of “modern art” an its origin is very disputable and still open.

Actually the definition of art movement is not easy. Various experts and critics have various meanings. We also should mention such art movements like impressionism, post impressionism, expressionism and cubism, because a lot of experts consider these art movements as predecessors of the modern art movement. Some experts also separate the terms of “modern art” and “contemporary art” They affirm that the period of modern art was over in 60s-70s years of the twentieth century. And the term of “contemporary art” defines art works that have been created at the current period of our life time.

So, the question of the modern art term, its origin and the time of its existing still stays open, but very interesting for learning.
