Modern art began in 1860 and continues today. Modern art completely stays from classic art elements and no one style dominates art. During the early to mid 1800's, the Romanticism movement was at its peak. One of beliefs of Romanticists was beauty in nature. This is reflected in many 19th century artists. Another beliefs was individuality of art. During the end of the Romantic Period, artists began breaking free from conventional art concepts and new styles began to emerge.
