Modern art and the birth of modernism can be traced to the Industrial Revolution and extending roughly from the 1880s to the present day. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. During this period there were social and economic conditions that profoundly affected life in Western Europe and North America. Art Chateau's new Modern Art Gallery pays homage to renowned revolutionaries such as Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko.
