First, what is modern art?

Modern art includes artistic works produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era. -

Okay, so for me, modern art is the start of something new and extraordinary.
This period started all the modernization and improvements in art history. 


Artists in this period also started to explore new techniques and approach to art. 
This new style of art has a lot of styles used such as expressionism, impressionism and abstractionism.

This is where photography started and slowly became known into the art industry. This is the birth of a more creative artists who adopted the basics from the first artists and developed their own approach.

Modern art begins with the heritage of painters like Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec all of whom were essential for the development of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century Henri Matisse and several other young artists including the pre-cubist Georges Braque, André Derain, Raoul Dufy and Maurice de Vlaminck revolutionized the Paris art world with "wild", multi-colored, expressive landscapes and figure paintings that the critics called Fauvism. -- Wikipedia.org
