Modern art is an artistic movement that emerged between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by its break with classical art traditions and styles. It focused on exploring new forms of expression, experimenting with innovative techniques, and reflecting the social, cultural, and technological changes of its time.
Main characteristics:

Rejection of the traditional: It moves away from realism and academic rules to seek a subjective and emotional representation.
Experimentation: Use of new techniques, materials, and styles, such as cubism, surrealism, expressionism, and fauvism.
Modern themes: It reflects urban life, industrialization, and social conflicts.
Subjective approach: It focuses on the artist's individual perception rather than on objectively representing reality.

Examples of modern art trends:

Impressionism: Captures ephemeral moments and light effects (e.g., Monet, Renoir).
Cubism: Fragmentation and geometrization of forms (e.g., Picasso, Braque).
Surrealism: Explores the subconscious and dreams (e.g., Dalí, Magritte).
Expressionism: Prioritizes intense emotions over reality (e.g., Munch, Kirchner).

Modern art ushered in a new era, paving the way for contemporary art, which continues to challenge traditional norms.
