Condensed Text Exercise

The beginning of the 20th C witnessed a movement that came from the ideals of expression from earlier traditional art. The main purpose for the avant garde artists was the natural enviroment and this quickly spread through Europe.

The Futurist and cubist movements where very different from the traditional fine arts. These were to become well established, bringing in aspects that would make the modern world, such as changes in machines and science.

This modernity was an experience that was to change a person and their lifestyle.

Machines would change the way people lived their lives in large cities. The german socioligist saw this as the negative iron cage, an imprisonment.

Socialism was another reaction to modernity. This affected race and culture and the way it was delivered to relate to the people who were aware of the modernity in society.

This sparked the divide on how art would be seen to change the modern world.
