What Influenced it? WWI and WWII were the major influences of Modernism. Artists of this newer generation were a mixed bunch of all races and religions. Modernists were against the destructive wars.

Relationships to Other Eras In contrast to the Romantic world view, the Modernist cares rather little for Nature, Being, or the overarching structures of history. Instead of progress and growth, the Modernist sees decay of the individual.

Themes of Modernism Selfishness and inwardness The loss of traditional structures to creativity
