Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century, the collision of diverse cultures gave rise to a debate on the “Art Revolution” centered around LA JEUNESSE. On the surface, the debate revolved around topics such as new thought or old view, revolution or reform, but in essence, it was about different understandings of the artistic functions. Starting from the view of artistic function, this article describes and evaluates the representative figures and artistic concepts before and after the “Art Revolution” theory.
