Artists and the sciences in the birth of Modern life

Resumen

The time comprised in between the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century presented a revolution in the sciences that shaped what came to be defined as Modern life. It influenced and affected all fields of knowledge and social relationships. In this article I analyze how some of the main inventions and discoveries of this period impacted artists and artistic movements in practical and philosophical ways and how they collaborated to the surge of abstraction in the visual arts.
