Modernism and Post Modernism

Introduction

Imaginative analytical and critical work on British music of the early twentieth century has been hindered by perceptions of then repertory as insular in its references and backward in its style and syntax, escaping the modernity that surrounded its composers. Recent research has begun to break down these perceptions and has found intriguing links between British music and modernism.

Modernism to be known as the universal crisis Hispanic letters and spirit and is manifested in art, science, religion and politics. In some ways, an echo can be seen in subsequent movements and currents. In the roots of Modernism is a profound disagreement with the bourgeois civilization.

Postmodernism refers to a movement art, theorized by the art critic Charles Jencks, which involves an ironic break with conventions a historical of modernism in architecture and urban planning, especially with the claims history to conclude and ignore geography.

Discussion and analysis

Embracing change and the present, modernism encompasses the works of thinkers who rebelled against nineteenth century academic and historicist traditions, believing the “traditional” forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated; they directly confronted the new economic, social and political aspects of an emerging fully industrialized world. The two most popular writers of the modernism and post modernism are discussed below with their work of art.

Sherwood Anderson

Sherwood Anderson was an American novelist ( 13 September 1876 , Camden , Ohio - March 8 1941 , Panama ), best known for his new , including the collection Winesburg, Ohio, which features small people, people sometimes frustrated in their lives and whose action is in the Ohio. The social and economic circumstances of his parents clearly influenced Sherwood's later thinking and his choice of themes for his stories. In 1884, the Anderson family moved from Camden to Clyde, Ohio, near the Lake Erie city of Cleveland, which is frequently mentioned in Winesburg, Ohio (1919).

John Hawkes

John Hawkes's lack of a wide readership has always been counterbalanced by a literate and highly vocal following among readers who are professionally interested in contemporary fiction. In fact, perhaps his most accessible and widely read work, The Blood Oranges, winner of Le Prix du Meilleur Livre Eranger, is a novel primarily read by college students and professors. Although he belongs to no recognizable school of fiction, many think Hawkes is “feasibly our best writer” of the late twentieth century, as the novelist Thomas McGuane put it. A ruthless poeticizes of fictional terror and aesthetic shock; Hawkes is both a satirist in the tradition of Franz Kafka, Flannery O'Connor, and Nathanael West and an explorer of the interior life in the tradition of Joseph Conrad. His achievement was recognized in 1986 with the awarding of the Prix Medicis Étranger (Paris).
