Modern Art Modern Art is a style of art that began to appear in the early part of the 20th century. Soon after Picasso and Braque began letting wild and crazy abstract paintings out of the studio to roam the streets of Paris, the art world changed dramatically. Eventually this new style of art called Modern Art was hitting the shores of the US with much shock and awe. New York became the capitol of the art world and the cult of the artist began. Galleries tried to top one another in snagging the newest, most outrageous style of art they could find. Critics rambled endlessly about the meaning of the artwork. Soon we no longer just had cubism, there was impressionism, fauvism, pointillism, hard edge, found art, dada, pop, op, color field, expressionism, abstract expressionism, minimalism, surrealism, conceptual, futurism and many more. All of these styles were called Modern Art and more recently Post-Modernism. More on modern art at : Museum of Modern Art |

Modern Art Oil Paintings on this page are created with cubist and expressionist styles. These directions in art are considered abstract even though they do have recognizable imagery. They are not created from life but rather imagination. Colors are used to convey a mood and shapes are changed to create interest.
