Question:

What are the influences of 20th century art?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

your asking a huge question that is still being figured out, there is no cut and dry answer as the answer, like the art, is about how you come to that answer; its the difference between modernity and post-modernity. If modernity was about the end form, post-modernity is about how does one go about to achieve that end form. Think if the architecture of buildings between the standard rectangular high-rise or sky-scarper(modernity), and the architecture of Frank Geary whose building forms aren't 'complete' but are in the movement, or the formation of completion. The same could be argued for Jackson Pollack's art verses the distinguished forms of realistic oil-paintings.
