Between Traditions and Innovations: Tensions in Modernist Art at the Beginning of the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: The centre and the starting point of modernism was Paris. The most developed and structurally organized languages of modernism developed in Paris.

At the same time, a centre–periphery relationship also existed inside modernism or, more exactly, in modernist language. These movements created several tensions inside modernist art and in society.
