Art & architecture
When compared to the traditions of art established during the Renaissance, the art of the 20th century surely seems "radical." Yet, as these things go, the radical modernism of the 20th century (such as that of German Expressionism and Cubism) evolved over time.
The 19th century was a time of transition into the modern world. Artists took more risks. They broke with the long-established "rules" of art in pursuit of newer forms of expression. 19th-century artists had the courage to experiment and their results eventually opened the door to further artistic experimentation and evolution.
