Description - Considering three major movements in Western Culture (Realist, Modern, Post-Modern), discuss and cite your reasons for what you consider to be the most significant contributions in Art, as they have impacted and influenced our contemporary times. (you may choose ONE work: Painting, Literature, Architecture, or Music from EACH period: Realist, Modern, Post-Modern).

By "most significant" I want to know why and how you think these works have advanced Human creativity, understanding, social/political vision and culture in our times. Did they bring new insights or truths about the human condition? Did they foster a new way of thinking, or outlook? Did they initiate new forms and break conventions through innovation? Were they "revolutionary" in positive and/or negative ways as we look back from today's perspective on them?
