WHAT IS MODERN ART?

        Modern Art as we know it began around the 1880's at the end of the Impressionists period.  At that time Post Impressionism began with the work of Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne and Seurat, and what beautiful work it was.

        Post Impressionism greatly influenced the 20th century abstraction of painters like Matisse, Picasso and Kandinsky, and they took it to the next level.

        And so it began, brilliant artists were unleashed, creative talent was permitted to think out of the box and we have been the beneficiaries.  The possibilities are endless.
