2. The Continuation of Modernism… ► The Three Revolutions that affected the art of the 19 th century continue to influence the artists of the 20 th century. ► At the turn of the century, a new idea arose in art called the avant garde, a military term used to promote the idea that art should push conservative boundaries. ► Avant garde art at the onset of the 20 th century sought new innovations in the ideas of form and color. ► Avant garde art after WWII up to today continues to push boundaries in form, subject matter, media, and content. Ernst Kirchner, Street, Berlin. 1913.
