20th Century Art, often referred to as “Modern Art” was experimental. Less group and more individual.
The Twentieth Century focused on:
Emotion, experimentation, unreal color, broken planes and deliberately flat, two dimensional surfaces. Only questions, no answers.
What was happening in the 1960’s?
What world events before/during/after?
What was happening in the US? Spiritually, culturally?
Art is not only in your eye, but also in your mind. Favored the simple expression of the complex thought.
