- 1860-mid 20th century
- The city becomes a more integral part of everyday life. Lots of people in a small area forces alienation and loneliness that is reflected in artwork and design.
- New technological advances change what is considered art. The invention of the camera influences the way artists paint.
- The experience of the individual in the modern world is 'modernity'
- Design is looking forward not taking influence from past design.
- Form follows function
- Modernism neglected the needs of the individual and focussed on the mass population.
- Anti-realism- the invention of the camera forced artists to become more abstract and expressionist.
