Art: Modernism

"The term Modernism commonly applies to those forward-looking architects, designers and artisans who, from the 1880's on, forged a new and diverse vocabulary principally to escape Historicism, the tyranny of previous historical styles. The foundation of this online project is a group of over 250 objects representing nine modernist movements." -- from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts website. <http://www.artsmia.org/modernism/>
