What are some of the major artworks that were first considered "Modern Art" ?
February 8th, 2010 | by admin |what are some of the major works of art that were considered modern or influenced modern art?
The roots of "modern art" go all the way back to Manet (The "Dejeuner sur l’erbe" and Courbet and, in the opinion of some, even earlier; for example to Turner. In the opinion of still others, the signal event — at least in the U.S. — was the Armory Show of 1913.
And I know one distinguished scholar who firmly believes that modern art began with Picasso’s "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon" of 1907.

That is a broad question.. Can I assume that it’s sunday night and you didn’t do homework? If I had that assignment.. I’d ask for clarity. If it’s as clear as the question.. ANY modern art book would tell you… Probably can google it
