1 MODERNISM Modernism is an arts movement that predominantly Took place in the first half of the twentieth century.

2 A response to  Industrial and technological progress  Incresing populations and urbanization (city centers)  Victorian Period  World War I- Fragmentation and disillusionment following

3 Goals of  Modernism strived to find the individual’s place in a chaotic world. Modernism emphasized impressionism and subjectivity ◦ The individual’s perspective on the world ◦ No “truth” at center of story – no definitive reality being documented

4  Movement away from omniscient third-person narrators (or fixed points of view) and clear-cut moral positions.  Frequent use of stream of consciousness  Fragmented narratives  Influence of the classics and history (often as hodgepodge)  Idea-oriented/intellectual

5 EXAMPLES:  Picasso – Dora Maar au Chat (1941)  Demuth – The Figure 5 in Gold (1928)  James Joyce- Ulysses (1922) o “Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.”  Yeats – “The Second Coming” (1921) ◦ “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold”  Eliot – The Waste Land (1922) ◦ “You cannot say, or guess, for you know only A heap of broken images”
