*****************************************************************************

 MODERN ART really began with modernism in the late 19th century. Nineteenth-century movements of Post Impressionism and Art Nouveauled to the first twentieth-century art movement of Fauvism and Die Brücke ("the Bridge") in Germany. Fauvism in Paris introduced heightened on-representational color into figurative painting. Die Brücke strove for emotional Expressionism. Another German group was Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider"), led by Kandinsky in Munich, who associated the blue rider image with a spiritual non-figurative mystical art of the future. Kandinsky was a pioneer of abstract  (non-representational) art. Cubism generated by Picasso rejected the plastic norms of the Renaissance by introducing multiple perspectives into a two dimensional image. Dadaism with its most notable exponent, Marcel Ducamp, rejected  conventional art styles altogether by exhibiting found objects, notably a urinal.  Futurism incorporated the depiction of movement and machine age imagery.
