From the paper:

"Modernism is a much harder artistic style to define than either Romanticism or Realism ? although not as difficult as Postmodernism. This probably results in part from the fact that the closer a style is to one?s own moment in history the more difficult it is to assess, but it also has to do with the fact that Modernism is itself a complex movement. It is not the relatively straightforward reaction against the movement before it that Realism was, nor is it a reaction against a single historical change in the way that Romanticism was primarily a response to industrialization."
