Modern Era of Art

The Modern Era was from 1863-1945. It was when Romaniticism reached its limits, diverse and experimental music began to emerge. It also changed when one artist, Eduoard Manet painted Olympia which was a portrait of a Paris Prostitue. Serialism went a step further and formalized the use of rhythm and harmony as well as pitch. The riot in 1913 emphasized on irregular rhythms. Then atonalism was a twelve-tone system and developed into serial music. It treated all tweleve notes with equal importance.
