Introduction
Modernism refers to both a specific period and a specific set of principles for design, architecture and art. Modernism is generally considered to have begun in Europe in the late 19th century. The movement was partly a response to the Industrial Revolution, with its emphasis on machine production over craftsmanship. Modernist design principles include functionality, simplicity, economy of means and an avoidance of ornamentation or excessive decoration.
Modern design is a way of considering objects and services as a means to an end, and not as a collection of individual parts.

In this article I will explain what modern interior design means and how it can be applied in your home or office space.
The first modernist painters, such as those in the Blaue Reiter group, were concerned with the expressive use of color and form rather than the naturalistic depiction of visual reality.

The term “modernism” was originally used to describe the historical movement that existed from about 1890 to 1940, but it has also been used more broadly since then to refer to any artistic style or cultural period that breaks with traditional ways of thinking and doing things.
The term “modern” is used, especially in architecture, to refer to all buildings that have been constructed after the “re-discovery” of classical styles which had fallen into disuse in Western civilization during Medieval times.
Modern architecture is a term used to describe buildings that were designed after the Renaissance. It emerged in the first half of the 20th century, and became dominant by the second half of that century.
Modern design is characterized by simple geometric forms and clean lines. It’s also often minimalistic, with few embellishments or decorations on its surface.
Although many designers who did not explicitly identify themselves as modernists produced work that may be considered modernist within many design fields, including furniture design and graphic design, designers who self-consciously referred to their work as modernist included Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius among others within architecture; Marcel Breuer (and Marcel Breuer & Associates), Peter Behrens, Erich Mendelsohn and Mies van der Rohe among others within industrial design; Josef Frank, Alvar Aalto and Bruno Mathsson among others within furniture design; and George Nelson among others within graphic design.

Modernism has been the dominant architectural movement since WWII
Modernism has been the dominant architectural movement since WWII. Modernism is a style of architecture that emerged in the first half of the 20th century and became dominant by the mid-1950s. It was characterized by an emphasis on simplicity and functionality, with an aim to create buildings providing for their users’ lifestyle needs.
Modernist architects tended not to embellish their designs with decorations or other ornamentation; instead they focused on geometric shapes and materials such as steel or glass.[1] They also rejected historical styles then popular like Art Deco,[2] baroque,[3][4] Victorian,[5][6][7] Gothic Revival[8] etc., which they thought were too elaborate or ornate compared to earlier forms like gothic cathedrals.[9] Instead they opted for simple lines which could be easily replicated on large scale projects such as skyscrapers – see Chicago School Style
Conclusion
Modernism is an architectural movement that began in the 19th century and continues into the present day. It was first developed by a group of artists called “The Blaue Reiter” who were interested in expressing their emotions through color and form rather than realistic depiction of visual reality. The term “modern” is used, especially in architecture, to refer to all buildings that have been constructed after the rediscovery of classical styles which had fallen into disuse during medieval times
