The reason why modern art is called modern is not because it happened recently, but because these things were created in the conditions of historical modernity-industrialization, urbanization, secularization, mass media, a high degree of interpenetration (or mutual destruction) of world cultures.
That is why modern art is often counted from Manet's Olympia, written in 1863, and sometimes even from Horace's Oath, written in 1784, rather than from last Thursday (whereas things associated with something new sometimes existed a thousand years ago).
In this sense, there will never be any non-modern art, there will be periods before modernity and after modernity. The situation can change only as a result of a large-scale revision of historiography — which is not impossible in pritsnip, Latour in” We Have Never Been Modern ” and T. Morton argue in places that the industrial revolution was a quantitative, but not a qualitative leap, and that modernity as a worldview is an irremediable self-deception.
Against them, in turn, there are directly opposite theories like J. R. R. Tolkien. Janis, who claims that before the Bronze Age, people did not even have a full — fledged self-consciousness-as if historiography can be revised in both directions if necessary.
In this connection, it can be assumed that the comical popular struggle with the nomenclature of art criticism occurs because the average viewer lacks an idea of modernity as such-which in itself is probably not surprising, but…
…But just imagine a tribute show in Rome, where one of the men asks when Roman art will end – and everyone is like, ” Oh, yes, really, how much can I do?”
In Russian, there is confusion with concepts in art. “Modern” in the sense of” recently released ” defines one novelty. “Modern” in the sense of “post-Duchesne”, “post-avant-garde” define another. The first novelty is boring to deal with) It's more a matter of fashion and PR. But the second novelty lasts as long as this new idea of art is alive. Until a new genius comes along and changes the way we approach art beyond recognition.
