 TVM 2nd Floor: Modern Art - Introduction
Now the same person who says they don't like modern art might well be reluctant to say: "I don't like 20th century art", because most people do like much of 20th century art and they probably have no objection to any art before 1901.
Romantic art specialises in glorifying even the most unpleasant human experiences, like war; its subjects range from the poor and country life to views of nature and the aristocratic personages of the day.
Art began to move away from an almost photographic representation of reality (which started in the renaissance) and evolved toward other things: e.g.

While each art form appears to be different externally, their internal properties serve the same inner purpose, of moving and refining the human soul.
Disturbed by the discovery of radioactivity, he believed that art was no longer a means of confronting unbearable tension and disharmony, but rather the exact opposite: it was the only way to adopt a more far-sighted position in the world of contradictions and inconsistency.
He believed that the nightmare of materialism oppressed the soul of modern man. All the arts, not just painting, were in a state of spiritual renewal and were beginning to come closer to their objective by turning to the abstract, the elemental.

She studied at the Moscow Art School, first in the sculpture department under Pavel Trubetskoy (from 1898) and then in the painting department under Konstantin Korovin (1900-1909).
In her Neo-primitive works she continued to explore the styles of Eastern and traditional art forms, but also experimented with Cubo-futurism (see The Cyclist, 1913), and adopted Larionov's new style of Rayonism.
