Classical modernism is actually not a homogeneous style, but a mixture of different art styles in modern art. At the end of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, artists tried to oppose the existing with a kind of style pluralism.
Classical Modernism challenged the previous understanding of art. The Bauhaus style emerged in Germany, Constructivism took hold in Russia and Cubism in France. The expressive style of painting is also classified in this epoch. The search for truth is reflected in the dissected motifs of the painter George Braques ("Man with a Guitar"), the color-intensive painting of Franz Marc ("The Yellow Cow") or in the painting of Pablo Picasso ("Dora Maa"), which was typical at that time.
From the 20th century onwards, classical modernist painting evolved more and more from the representational to the abstract. Artists looked at their works subjectively and arrived at the same goal in different ways. The desire to fathom and represent the spiritual inspired artists such as
Wassily Kandinsky ("Yellow-Red-Blue") or Marc Chagall ("The Pleasure Garden") to create expressive works. During the Third Reich, modern art was banned as "degenerate." The artists were only able to continue working after the end of the Second World War. A pioneering artistic avant-garde developed, on which contemporary art is still oriented today.
