Modern art and non-objective art

• The visual art of the modern period constantly reinvented itself in search of the new. What was truly new in the early 20th century was the thought that art was just art and some felt art help a purpose (meaning). This view of art, subjective and expressive, led to the dismantling of subject matter, for what was represented mattered less than the manner of representation or the person responsible for it. Meaning artists began to focus on the viewer and how he/she responded to it.
