MODERN?particular attitude or style of art making.

My opinion is that new art needs newtechniques. And the modern artists havefound new means of making theirstatements. It seems to me that themodern painter cannot express this age ofthe aeroplane, the atom bomb, the radio,in the old forms of the Renaissance or ofany other past culture. Each age finds itsown technique.
