Cezanne - Founder of Modernism
Form - All of the elements of a work of art independent of their meaning. Formal elements are primary features which are not a matter of semantic significance -- including color, dimensions, line, mass, medium, scale, shape, space, texture, value; and the principles of design under which they are placed -- including balance, contrast, dominance, harmony, movement, proportion, proximity, rhythm, similarity, unity, and variety.
Clement Greenburg - Abstract Expressionism
If art is any good, it can't be picked apart... big proponent of Pollack's art.
Beat Generation (1950's) - A group of American youth, writers and artists in the 1950s who experimented with communal living, a nomadic lifestyle, and Eastern philosophy. Often associated with jazz music, the improvisational works by authors such as Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg challenged traditional forms of literature. Note: This is not a traditional “school” of Modernism, but one of its “creations.”
