Modernist architecture and art have a close relationship in terms of style and philosophy. Modernist architecture, which arose in the early 20th century, was influenced by the modern art movement, particularly by the cubist and abstract art movements. Modernist architects aimed to create buildings that reflected the principles of modern art, which emphasized abstraction, geometric shapes, and the use of new materials and technologies.
In addition, many modernist architects were also artists themselves, and their buildings were often considered works of art. For example, Frank Lloyd Wright, a prominent modernist architect, believed in the unity of art and architecture, and his buildings were often designed to be a part of the natural environment in which they were situated.
Overall, modernist architecture and art shared a common goal of creating a new aesthetic that reflected the changing world and values of the early 20th century. They challenged traditional forms and conventions, and sought to create a new language of form and expression that was uniquely modern.
