Very nice! I particularly like some of these interesting choices. The Manzoni is one of my favorites. And old prof of mine has such funny stories about him. And I think you are using interesting artists in interesting ways, particularly in Symbolism.

The Birth of the World 1925
Oil on canvas
Atop this relatively uncontrolled application of paint, he added lines and shapes he had previously planned in studies. The bird or kite, shooting star, balloon, and figure with white head may all seem somehow familiar, yet their association is illogical.

Symbolism
A form, sign, or emblem that represents something else, often something immaterial, such as an idea or emotion. Symbolism represents a synthesis of form and feeling, of reality and the artist's inner subjectivity.

Good star! Abstraction and experimentation are clear principles and you have made good choices in your illustrations.

With abstraction remember that there are also purely nonobjective forms like de Stijl and Suprematism. There might be artists there who interest you.

In the matter of experimentation, you can also consider the possibilities on "non-art" materials that might be incorporated into collage or papier colle, or used themselves, like neon light tubes or television sets/video or things of that kind.

Just some thoughts.

Source 3: Modernism by Robin Walz

This book is good for the start because it talks about Modernism in general with focus on the art and modernity in the nineteenth century. Even though it does not provide a lot of supporting images in the book, the content is still being informative that would give me a general sense of Modernism.

Source 2: Art of the Twentieth Century by Loredana Parmesani.

This book would be helpful for my research because it talks particularly about Neo-Dada, Nouveau Réalisme and other movements followed upon 1900-2000. The book is mostly texts with some supporting colored images. It is very organized from the Nineteenth Century toward the Avant-garde movements, and ends with the Contemporary Period. The content is very detailed in explaining the characteristics of each movement with supporting artists and pictures.

Source 1: Modern Art by Sam Hunter, John Jacobus and Daniel Wheeler

The book started with the chapter explaining the history of Modernism, and throughout the last chapter on Post-modernism, the writers introduced influential Modernism artists such as Cezanne and Van Gogh. The writers also not only traced the evolution in paintings but also examples from sculpture and photography. The chapters on modern art movements in a chronological order will also help me better understand the evolve of Modernism.
