Modernism,
- formal (compositional) aspects of art
- it includes colour, line, shape, texture (vs. Renaissance’s emphasis on realism, context, and content)
- the importance of Formalism: everything a viewer needs to know about the art is already present in the art
Formalism
- rejects realism and naturalism; objective reality is not represented
- instead, it’s the artist’s subjective emotions, feelings– the artist’s personal response to the subject matter
- to represent these intense, personal responses, the distortion and exaggeration of the formal elements are used
