Modernity was a term first used by 19th century French poet and critic Charles Baudelaire to denote the experience of living in the new modern world
![Page 12: What is and When was MODERNITY ? Lecture 1: Andrea Peach.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5515e614550346d46f8b4f25/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Baudelaire talked about the ephemeral, the fugitive and contingent aspects of living in the new modern world.
Put simply: life seemed to have speeded up

All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions are swept away
All that is solid melts into air

Clement Greenbergart critic (1909-1994)
Modern art can be related to the changing forms of modern life, even when it does not depict modernity
![Page 25: What is and When was MODERNITY ? Lecture 1: Andrea Peach.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5515e614550346d46f8b4f25/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The whole arrangement of my
pictures is expressive …
Composition is the art of
arranging in a decorative manner
the various elements at a
painter’s disposal for the
expression of his feelings.
Henri Matisse

Formalism: based on approach which emphasises line, colour, tone, and mass at the expense of the significance of the subject matter
Based on theories of Clive Bell and Roger Fry
Clement Greenberg
Essay: Modernist Painting 1960
![Page 29: What is and When was MODERNITY ? Lecture 1: Andrea Peach.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062312/5515e614550346d46f8b4f25/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Modern art to me is nothing more than the
expression of contemporary aims of the
age that we’re living in … It seems to me
that the modern painter cannot express
this age, the airplane, the atom bomb,
the radio, in the old forms of the
Renaissance or of any other past culture.
Each age finds its own technique.
Jackson Pollock 1950
