What is modernism?
Most of us will agree that a modernist work is
perceived as difficult , and that this
difficulty is related to its newness and
difference from what we have seen before. D.H.
Lawrence to read a really new novel will
always hurt, to some extent. There will always
be resistance. The same with new pictures, new
music (new architecture emphasis added). You
may judge of their reality by the fact that they
do arouse a certain resistance.

MODERNISM dates to 1737 in the sense of
"deviation from the ancient and classical manner"
Johnson, who calls it "a word invented by
Swift".
