Lumiere brothers first films - ran screaming out of theatre as they though they were going to be run over.
Modernism is a subjective experience and is not a style,
Monet (above)- modernity blurred brush strokes. Paint the experience of the world. New technology and new buildings allows a new view of the world. Tall buildings - different (higher) view.
Modernism in design. Responds to changes in the world. New is better anti-historicism.

Form follows function, good function is more important than colour. It looks good because it works well
