Catalogue Note
“Modern art is a type of creation exercised by contemporary artist who make use of every facility existing in today’s space and time. It involves the effort to find a new ground of reality that is a quandary from which modern men find no escape. It is an insight contending a search of knowledge that can clarify the relationship between the self and the world.”
