Modernism

uring the beginning of 20th century, modernism began to appear that people began a different movement from realism or romanticism. Different from other movement, modernism take bold experimentation in style and forms that it reject traditional theme such as romantic drawing or story. People start to view the world with new way of thinking that they reject sentimentality or artificiality. Instead of liking romantic hero who is ultimately strong and perfect, modernism favors hero who is flawed and disillusioned yet shows grace under these pressure and in the end develop into a strong character.  Modernistic literature revolves around the themes of individualism and how government, religion or other institution lied and oppressive individual expression. Some of the famous Modernist artist such as Picasso abandoned traditional thinking and conventional belief and draw painting with people whose has eyes on only 1 side of the head. Different from Romanticism, Modernism examines ordinary subject matter and interested in the inner workings of human minds. Different from Realism, Modernism introduce concept such as disjointed timeline where a story doesn’t necessary follow a linear strict chronological order that story and events may just pop out randomnly like how people recall their memory. Modernism experiment on novel ideas and style that don’t necessary are comprehensible to people when they first see it.
