Through modernism, art for the first time became self aware, that is, art produced was no longer representing something else, but was displaying itself as art.
Modern art also took advantage of new technologies - monets paintings could not have been done without the invention of the tube of paint, which enabled the impressionists to work outside directly from their subject, which undoubtedly had a big effect on the work which could be produced.
This fall in the aura and autonomy of the art and the artist corresponded not only with the rise in the importance of the audience, but also with that of the theorists, critics, curators and dealers.

A particularly clear example of this effect is evident in Kosuth’s ‘Art After Philosophy’, where *tautology* is both an object he wishes to possess, and a position he wishes (conceptual art) to occupy.
There seems to be a bureaucratic logic driving the formal content of the works, such that one might reasonably describe the practice as a “spectacle of administration.” This would even be one way to describe the experience of the participant who engages the indexing projects beyond the level of the “aesthetic” in the usual sense.

 Mumford on Modern Art in the 1930s
Although Lewis Mumford is widely acknowledged as the seminal American critic of architecture and urbanism in the twentieth century, he is less known for his art criticism.
On a deeper level, the columns probe beneath the surface of modern art, revealing an alienation that Mumford believed symptomatic of a larger cultural disintegration.
Many of the themes Mumford addresses overlap with those of his more familiar architectural criticism: the guiding role of the past in stimulating creativity in the present, the increasing congestion of the modern metropolis, the alarming lack of human control over modern technology, and the pressing need to restore organic balance to everyday living.
