As Modernism is new again and so is formalism we can rejoice because the art wheel keeps charging forward in retrograde. Yes this a movement that brings as color and simplicity combined with intelligence and decorative pomp. I meant plomp but spell check disagreed and so might you by claiming it's an old hat. No I rebut and let you into the secret world of secrets namely that everything is pulled out of the same hat just at different time periods and as we that is us hopefully change with the aging process we get fresh impulses from similar seeming visuals.
What I am saying is with to many words that the art of self reflection is mirrored in the things we think we know already but judged as if.
New modernism is after all a new way to present us with a style that broke rules and was once radical and now is a trope to get us into a nostalgic mode because we have forgotten how good the world was when the sheer power of color could still inspire awe in us.
