Modernism:
the cultural movements that arose within the changes in Western society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The term covers art, architecture, music, literature and the applied arts.
The term ‘Modernism’ tends not to be used as a blanket term to cover all the art of the modern period. Rather, it is a form of quality or value normally associated with certain works only and serving to distinguish these from others.

ModernismModernism was a broad movement,encompassing numerous sub-
movements(-isms, eg Cubism, Fauvism,
Impressionism...)
Even though many of the groups were not
compatible with one another, what they all
tended to agree on was a rejection of theprevious notion of the purpose of art,
that ofserving or reflecting nature. Instead, theydeveloped experimental approaches toart/design/ architecture, looked towards Art itself and the human experience; art for the sake of art.
Piet Mondrian,Composition No VI,1914

and ideas• What purpose does an art manifesto serve?
– A symbol, differentiates the group from other groups– A record; an historical mark (art history)– Bringing groups of people together, esp. with
Modernism’s international associations in mind
Tristan Tzara
“A manifesto is a communication made to the whole world, whose only pretension is to the discovery of an instant cure for political, astronomical, artistic, parliamentary, agronomical and literary syphilis.”

Futurism (1909-16)
F.T. Marinetti (1909)The Futurist Manifesto
MANIFESTO OF FUTURISM (extracts)
4. We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
5. We want to sing the man at the wheel, the ideal axis of which crosses the earth, itself hurled along its orbit.
8. We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed.
9. We want to glorify war — the only cure for the world — militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for woman.
10. We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice.

HOW TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM (T.Tzara)
Take a newspaper.Take some scissors.Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem. Cut out the article.Next carefully cut out each of the words that makes up this article and put them all in a bag.Shake gently.Next take out each cutting one after the other.Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.The poem will resemble you.And there you are - an infinitely origial author of charming sensibility, even though unapprecia-ted by the vulgar herd.

Dictionary: Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.
Encyclopedia: Surrealism. Philosophy. Surrealism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected associations, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought. It tends to ruin once and for all other psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life.

Modernism = Avant-Garde?
Modernism represents a withdrawal from politics and the public realm (art for art’s sake), which the avant-garde sought to reverse through the formation of a new politicized institution of art merged with life.

‘Lissitsky’s vision for photography was both anti-pictorialist and multi- faceted. Above all, photography was to be at the service of the proletariat, part of the modernist revolution in which all art would act as a catalyst for social change. The artist, as Margit Rowell has written, would function firstly, ‘as a “worker” comparable to the proletarian worker, and eventually as a “constructor” or “engineer”. The notion of art as the expression of individual genius was officially proscribed, and replaced by an art that would be politically effective, socially useful and mass produced.’Badger, G. The Genius of Photography: How
photography has changed our lives, Quadrille Publishing Limited, 2007, p.59
