MODERN ART
In all of human history, art has mirrored life in the community, society,
and the world in all its color, lines, shapes, and forms. The same has
been true in the last two centuries, with world events and global
trends being reflected in the various art movement.

The decades from 1900 to the present have seen the human race
living in an ever-shrinking planet. The 20th century saw a boom in the
interchange of ideas, beliefs, values, and lifestyles that continues to
bring the citizens of the world closer together
