Modernism began with Art Nouveau and the Arts & Crafts movement, which rejected industrial mass production in favor of handcrafted quality. Art Deco followed, embracing industrial advances with sleek, modern designs and influencing architecture and propaganda. The Bauhaus movement later emerged, focusing on simplicity and the integration of art and technology, setting the stage for modernist principles in design and architecture. Postmodernism then questioned established norms with its eclectic, ironic approach, blending high and low culture and rejecting single narratives.
Today, we are in the Meta Modern era, defined by interconnectivity, where collaboration thrives through digital platforms; information overload, where individual contributions merge into a vast data landscape; secular art, blurring the lines between high art and popular culture; fluidity, adapting rapidly to technological and social changes; and reimagined values, continuously redefining what is meaningful in art and culture. Meta Modernism reflects our interconnected, digital age, making creativity and culture dynamic and ever-evolving.
