Modernism Arts
Modernism was a movement in which happened during the 19th and 20th century. In this blog I will show you some pieces of art from this movement and talk about a chapter from the serie "Upstairs Downstairs".
This is a oil on canvas piece of art from the modernism. Was made by Georges-Pierre Seurat in the years between 1884 and 1886. This painting shows the landscape of a common day on the island "La Grande Jatte" in Paris.
This video was created in 1928 and published in 1929 by Anton Webern. It has the style of the early 20th century. It starts with a low tone until the half of the piece; then it turns stronger and then again low.

I have eaten
the plums

the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
I don't like at all poems, but in my opinion this one shows a way to apologise because of the actions a person did and also because the author found the way to express it on a poem, that's why i share it with you.
Upstairs, Downstairs
"Upstairs, Downstairs" is a British television serie based in the years between 1903 and 1930, and it is about a high class family, the Bellamys, who lived in London, who live upstairs, and the servants of this family, who live downstairs. The serie show us a lot of things about how was life in Britain , specially the social and technological changes from then to now.
the episode i watch of this serie, The King Edward XII went to dinner at their house. Sarah the exmaid because she got pregnant(the father was James). Unfortunately the baby wasn't able to born and died, so Sarah got back downstairs and serve the family. King Edward XII governed from 1901 to 1910. He was the son of the Queen Victoria. His wife was Alexandra, but she just got married for politics interest.
- The servants don't go usually upstairs, just when they are required for and they are well treated.
- Manchester United is a football club from England and existed since those times.
- Houses in those years were so old but beautiful.
