cultural-historical periods. American art critic Robert Hughes points out in his book
The Shock of the New, that such definitions are not like the glass stick that breaks
cleanly raksahtaen. He notes, for example, that you can not mention a specific year
when the Renaissance ended. It's over, yes, but all the same now our culture has
infiltrated remnants of the Renaissance.
Hughes writes that the issue is even more so in the case of modernism, since we are so
close to it. The author's view, the modernist achievements continue to impact our
culture for decades, because they were so big, plush and so undeniably compelling.
Hughes commented that, at least in relationship to modernism raised hopes have become
nostalgic.
