Pioneer Modernism

After the World War, the art world changed and evolved as the public's situations and life evolved. Pioneer Modernists were the "go getters" that seeked and searched for this new way of life. Thier mindsets and goals were set on ideas and concepts of communication through vision. Their strong suit was abstraction and manifestos. I respected the effort and visions that the pioneers shared because they broke the standards so that a new fresh life could emerge. But like most strong forces, their weaknesses became obvious and its exposure grew. This group of strong willed intelligent individuals were maybe to good for thier own sake. The unity between the pioneers began to dissolve because everyone had their own opinions and views on certian aspects of life. Each designer wanted to bring something the world has never witnessed before but at the sametime their ideas were migrating from one central idea. Also their abstraction made sense to them but it wouldn't have made sense to the general public. So lack of communication was the main reason why this group never succeeded together. Even though the fianl result was a fail, in a way it was success because future minds and minds of today can look back at this unique group and gain motivation from the work that these pioneers did.
