Modernism

[Ben Jackson]

An artistic and literary movement that begun in the early years of 20th Century, Modernists aim was to depart from traditional mode of literature, painting and music, which they considered obsolete, to something different and new. Modernists are usually self-conscious. It was inspired by Freud, Henri Bergson, Charles Darwin and William James.
