The system of art that has evolved under the influence of Enlightenment ideas about the possibility, based on good knowledge of constructing a unified picture of the world and which took the place of his religious paintings, ended in the mid-twentieth century movement known as "abstract expressionism". The revolutionary scientific discoveries that radically altered the predstaleniya people about the world in which they live and the crisis of the philosophy of the 19 th century, to distort the clear linear perspective vision of the world - a legacy of the Renaissance, forced some artists, who later called "modernists" to abandon the principles illyuzionistskih images in painting and look for "genuine" realism. They are no longer able to meet the ossified categories of aesthetics, which has consistently over the centuries operated classicism, does not correlate with the rapidly changing social reality of the end of the era of modern times. The search for these, which began as harmless experiments of the Impressionists, were trying to express changeable optics instantaneous states of nature, subjective personal view of the world, tragically ended in the 60 years of fatal leap coated with Japanese artist to paint the roof a skyscraper on the spread at the bottom of a blank canvas. The end of art.
