520 _a"Art forces humans to look beyond that which is necessary to survive and leads people to create for the sake of expression and meaning. Modern art represents an evolving set of ideas among a number of painters, sculptors, photographers, performers, and writers who - both individually and collectively - sought new approaches to art making. The birth of modernism and modern art can be traced to the Industrial Revolution. This period of rapid changes in manufacturing, transportation, and technology began around the mid-18th century and lasted through the 19th century, profoundly affecting the social, economic, and cultural conditions of life in Western Europe, North America, and eventually the world. New forms of transportation, including the railroad, the steam engine, and the subway, changed the way people lived, worked, and traveled, expanding their worldview and access to new ideas. One of the benefits of Contemporary Art is that it allows individuals a means of personal expression. Through painting, sculpture, and performance art, anyone can express themselves in a way that will be safely observable for others. As contemporary art continues to evolve and challenge, it finds new ways to engage the viewer. This book captures contemporary art's complex trajectory, exploring the central themes, as well as the ideas behind some of the most important works. This book examines the progress of art theories, styles and disciplines. It explores a variety of artistic and design choices, and the creative acts of inventing and transforming everyday objects. Explore works of art created in response to the social, cultural, and political issues of their time. Also presents a deeper understanding of history and contemporary society." -- Back cover
