Good set of principles. More illustrations would be good (at least 3 per principle) and your organization is a little challenging to work through. But good.

Joan Miro's The Hunter is an example automatic painting, where an artist would draw or paint whatever came up in their head before having time to think about it. The thinking behind these kinds of works were closely related to Freud's work on the subconscious holding unknown, untapped information in our minds. Automatism strove to discover some sort of unknown truth hiding inside the human psyche.

Principle 5: searching for a truth, is there a true essence to everything

In the search for new ways to make art, which many movements inside modernism are doing, there is an underlying desire to uncover a true essence behind what is being seen or experienced. Whether it's regarding emotion, nature, industry, or basic form itself, modernists are trying to uncover something through their experimental work. through changing the way things are visually manifested through art, they are trying to change their understanding. It makes sense that artists were trying to make work that would help them think differently, since philosophers and psychologists such as Friedrich Nietzche and Sigmund Freud were developing new theories on thought and the purpose of man.

Golden Days by Balthus is not striking in color or use of line, but it is  aggressively sexual, meaning artists were not just making exaggeration with material, but also exaggerating tone.

Woman with a Hat by Henri Matisse, is a straightforward example of the fauvists' exaggeration of color.

# data[].attributes.body
From Impressionism to Fauvism to Cubism to Surrealism, Artists have picked an aspect of their work to focus on and exaggerate. In some ways this ties into the modernists need to be bold in order to be an individual. most of these examples are exaggerations of color, line, texture or form. There are artists that would seem like an exception, such as the work of Balthus. While his work is not exaggerated in style, his content is saturated with sexual overtones that cannot be unnoticed.

Gino Severini's Dynamic Hieroglyphic of the Bal Tabarin. This is a classic example of futurist interest of the fast paced world. this piece focuses on the entertainment scene of that time and through jagged line and exaggerated color allows the viewer to get caught up in the chaos and business of the event.

Whether the work directly addresses it or not, artists in the late 1800's and early 1900's were affected by strides technology and industry, the wages of war, and a more connected world. Some artists chose to make work directly addressing these issues, like the futurists or dada-ists. while some do not directly try to be political, like the primitivists who made work inspired by a reaching interest in "new" areas of the world.

Principle 2. It has to be Bold...(compared to what came before them)

# data[].attributes.body
While looking through the different kinds of modernist art genres, they all have an air of pushing against what has been done before. Impressionism was messy where things were once neat and orderly. Cubism sought to redefine the picture plane and form as we see it. Sculptors such as Duchamp-Villon's Horse connected emotion to form that was not transparently recognizable. Jackson Pollock made work that scrapped representation entirely, and instead focused on the visual experience of being immersed in his huge paintings.

Christin, you don't really have the 5 clearly articulated principles--and you don't have any images collected that illustrate them. I hope you pull that material together before your meet with your group.

Interesting point about "wide variety". Is that possibly another principle? That modernists are deliberate in their individuality

The basic nuts and bolts of modernism as a rebellion against traditional standards of beauty is not an issue isolated in time. Even today, in an art world that may seem completely eclectic, there is a yearning as an artist to find a new way to express oneself. While today we may not have as stringent of guidelines for what is art, humans will always have the yearning to make work that has never been tried before. So inherently I believe the spirit behind modernist work is just in human nature.

This image is a good example of modernist work that does not necessarily challenge a viewer in terms of content but rather the style in which it was painted. It is clear that modernists painters did not completely abandon the female form as a bit of an obsession.

A modernist artist makes work that reflects some sort of deep emotion. Whether it is how they are experiencing a moment or trying to portray a deeper truth that viewers can relate to, human emotions are at the core. Even when talking about modernist work that has solely natural imagery, it is relating to our human experience and emotional connection to the natural world.

It makes sense that impressionism was one of the first sub categories in the modernist movement,starting around the 1860's. Their sometimes extremely loose paint strokes are a aggressive rebellion against tradition. Their use of wild colors and texture can be partially explained as an act of frustration with a stagnant art world. Impressionist work makes sense as the early works of modernism because although they twist imagery to contort their meaning, a lot of painters based compositions on older master works. They are still very versed in the traditional schooling of what is "beautiful" art but use that knowledge to make something new.

First of all, artists can never be perfectly categorized because they are all inherently different and dynamic people making work. One reason there may be such a dramatic change in art work in this time period is due to the rapid industrialization happening in Europe. With a quickly changing world all sorts of new concepts are being born and lifestyles are changing. It only makes sense really that art would follow suit. It wouldn't make sense if technologies and industries advanced while art kept to it's strict concepts of beauty.

Although there are differences of style between artists, broken up into categories such as impressionist, symbolic, art nouveau, and so on, they all have a deep need for a new form of expression. For example, The impressionists may be painting things that exist in the real world whereas some one making art nouveau work would be manifesting an emotion, they are both using imagery and colors to express themselves in a nontraditional style.
