Most art historians agree that the modern art adventure first developed in the 1860s in Paris. They turned to everyday street life for subjects, instead of overblown heroic scenes, and they escaped the power of the Salon by organizing their own independent exhibitions. A circle of painters, whom we now know as Impressionists, began painting pictures with rapid, loose brushwork.
In a constant desire to challenge, innovate, and inspire, one modernist style supplanted the next: Symbolism, Expressionism, Futurism, Dada, abstract art, renewed Realism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimal and conceptual practice. After this first assault on the artistic establishment, there was no holding back. This indispensable overview traces the restless energy of modern art with a year-by-year succession of the groundbreaking artworks that shook standards and broke down barriers.
