A broad period spanning roughly the 1860s to the 1970s, encompassing art that deliberately broke with tradition to experiment with new forms, materials, and ideas. Originating in Europe—particularly Paris—it includes movements from Impressionism through Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. It marked a fundamental shift away from academic and representational conventions, driven by figures like Édouard Manet, Pablo Picasso, and Marcel Duchamp, who continuously challenged what art could be.
