Modernism is a term which refers to both a specific period in history and particular impulse.
This is largely considered to have began in the 18th Century, around the same time a the french revolution.
This is a period reflected by revolution, industrialisation, a decrease within the religous belief (in the west) this being the peak edcline of the empire, and the polarisation between political ideal's ( namely: Fascism and communism, demoncracy and totalitariamism: capitalism and socialism).
Between all of these instances we degfined chiefly by a deep held belief in the idea of progress towards a prosperous world.
Believin in this is a utopia led by monumental advances and sacrifices being made in order to capitulate humanity from a cruel and barbaric past.
leading towards a state of harmony and plenitude.
