Abstract and Modernism

"Artists sought to break convention and stretch their talents. They wished to explore landscapes, figures and even emotional content using a variety of methods. The early part of the twentieth century saw the rise of many new interpretations of the canvas, including Surrealism, Futurism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Cubism and Abstract Expressionism.
