Let Us Reflect

Modern art includes artistic works produced during the period

extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s. It can be traced back
to the industrial revolution, a period that lasted from the 18th to the
19th century. Many artists started to make art about people, places, or
ideas that interested them, and or which they had direct experience.
