    10 Famous Modern Artists You Should Know

    Discover 10 famous modern artists who reshaped art history. What is Modern Art? Modern art, spanning the late 19th century to the 1960s, is a testament to creative rebellion. Rejecting traditional forms, artists of this era embraced experimentation with new materials, techniques, and ideas. Movements like Impressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism emerged, prioritizing composition, color, and technique to portray the world through abstraction and experimentation. We present 10 artists who have left an enduring mark on the art world, defying norms and serving as beacons of inspiration for generations to come. Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) The Revolutionary Brushstroke Often hailed as "the father of us all", Cézanne's legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of modern art. His experimental brushstrokes and use of color planes revolutionized Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism. Departing from traditional forms, Cézanne's bold and expressive strokes created a sense of texture and depth, influencing artists like Van Gogh and Gauguin.
