Modernist painting

Modernism in art began during the second half of the 19th century and extended into most of the 20th. Greenberg identifies modernism as “the use of characteristic methods of a discipline to criticize the discipline itself, not in order to subvert it but in order to entrench it more firmly in its area of competence.” He explained how many artists style of art has changed from more traditional to match a certain facilities, make self-criticisms of the works. Modernist painting uses the painting itself to call attention to painting. Modernism created new stream which artists are “freedom of expression” as referring to the philosophy of modern art. Edouard Manet, Paul Cezanne, and Jacques-Louis David are three artists who evolved from Traditional painting to Modernism.
Édouard Manet is the first modernist painter, and that modernism in art originated in the 1860s. He was interested in exploring new subject matter, new painterly values, and new spatial relationships. Pigment attributes flatness surface, support shape that is refuse by traditional painting are reasserted by him. Manet's became the first Modernist pictures by virtue of frankness which they claim the plane on which they were painted. The Impressionists, in the form of Manet, abjured under painting and Glazes, leaving the eye is no doubt to the fact that they used the colors that made paint from tubes or pots.
Greenberg believed Modernism provided a critical commentary on experience. Modernism reasserts the two-dimensionality of the picture surface. It required the viewer to see the picture first as a painting surface and only then as a picture. For example, in Still Life with Plaster Cupid, it is the subjective view that constructs the space. Cupid is white and scattered trees, red, yellow, and green. Three apples at the foot of Cupid continued flow round the body; others in the food strive to build up to a head. Cézanne's attempt to render the correct vision of human vision is subjective, continuous, and notices of memory.
By contrasting the movements of the energetic but definitely control, and swooning disciples, through the distribution of light and dark mark, David transforms what might have been only a fashionable picture of martyrdom to a clarion call for nobility and self-control even in the face of death. The man was handed the poison Socrates could not even bear to look at the face Socrates. Men are considering the opposite direction. His hands cover his eyes. He almost seems embarrassed to be handed the poison Socrates.
Modernism is not radically breaking away or release from all that is old and established in the art. In modernism, artists use color, shape, and line to make their paintings become special. People can find out the difference meaning according to their knowledge and experience.
Bonus: Self criticism is the way the artists display their thought on their paintings. Each artist has a different way to express so it determines their style and value.
