It clearly defines modern art and explains the foundations and philosophy behind art of the past hundred and fifty years.From the Paper:
"When defining and discussing modern art, it is first important to clarify exactly what the term means. Modern art refers primarily to painting, sculpture, and architecture created since the blossoming of technology and modern society. In broader historical thinking, the word modern refers to that time after the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery, however, the modern art movement is generally agreed to have been between the 1860s and 1970s. Like many discussions about art history, these dates are subjective. Painting, sculpture, and architecture from this period of history are called "modern" or "modernist." For many art historians, modern art began with the work of Edward Manet. Manet was one of the first impressionists and modern artists, those who reacted to the very formal and rigid style of painting done inside studios and set by traditional institutions in the nineteenth century. Modernism ended with the start of what many refer to as "post-modernism" in the 1960s and 1970s. This essay will give the historical and social background of modern art, explain the general ways that modernist work can be seen as uniquely different from art that came before, and look at two specific examples of modern art's radically different approach to painting. When compared to Renaissance and other western "traditional art" up to the late nineteenth century, it will be seen that modernism was a totally new paradigm for art."More papers on Modern Art: Its Style, Values and Philosophy:

Dec 15, 2001 Thank you for looking at my essay. I am from the "old school." I wrote my first term papers and essays back in the 1970s: the days of typewriters, carbon paper, all-night library sessions on No-Doz, and note cards. It was harder than you might imagine, but as a result I learned how to write with focus, excellent grammar and vocabulary, and a clear style. Those are the qualities you will find in all my work here, which are new and written as part of my recent graduate studies. They are certain to help you with your assigned essay or term paper. All are top quality "A" papers and show the kind of creativity and original analysis that university instructors look for.
