How do we think about modernism?

I personally feel that modernism is a movement and a shift in art, I feel that it is representing the world industrialising in the 19th century, when art work shifted to what we now recognise as 'modernism'. 

I feel that this image shows the simplicity of a city, and the individual lives of others. I love the way in which you can see the 'village' like life, in colour and then the industrial side of the city in the background. It is showing the working life and having fun.

This image I love I feel that the blurred imagery shows the antique side of the image, the farming life in the background, before all the industry kicked in which you can start to see far back in the imagery. It shows a rare side to what the 21st century will not recognise.
