The book describes the main directions and trends of modern art, its history, features and characteristics. It also highlights the importance of understanding the technological process of creating modern works of art and the need for a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. Modernism is a term that has been used to describe a wide range of artistic movements and styles that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At its core, modernism was a rejection of traditional forms of art and culture, and a desire to break free from the constraints of the past and create something new and innovative. This book explores the key features of modernism, including its emphasis on experimentation, individuality, and the use of new materials and techniques. The book begins by discussing the historical context of modernism, including the impact of industrialization and urbanization on society, as well as the influence of new technologies such as photography and film on the development of modern art. It then delves into the various movements and styles that defined modernism, including Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. Each of these movements is described in detail, with examples of notable artists who worked within each style. One of the central themes of the book is the importance of understanding the technological process of creating modern works of art.
