Why are both these paintings modernist?

Article Abstract:

Professor of Modern Art and Art Historian Tim Clark suggests modernism in art started at the time of the French Revolution, in 1793, and may have ended with the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He feels modernism started in 1793 when Jacques Louis David's 'Death of Marat' was first exhibited. Clark is known for his style of art history which looks at art in the historical, social and political context of when it was created. Some art historians have suggested modernism started in 1903 with the work of Pablo Picasso whilst others refer to the work of Henri Matisse.

Therapy for a fear of flying

Article Abstract:

British industry has been criticised for its lack of innovation. Some observers ascribe this to the fact that so much of industry is composed of small and medium sized companies. One suggestion for combatting this lassitude is for companies in the same field to work together, as they do in other countries. Long-term strategies are also felt to be lacking. Manufacturing industry is felt to be particularly slow to develop new products. Other areas such as the entertainment and media industries are innovative, some observers feel.
