And as the times change, our belief systems change and so do their visual representations. Modern Fresco reflects these changes in our dreams, in our belief systems. However, style changes in Fresco are more general, with longer development. They usually pass unnoticed. Defining Fresco within the general painting category seems redundant and narrow minded.
Fresco is a unique art form.
It should be studied separately as we do with Sculpture and Architecture. The latest Fresco period peaked during the Italian Renaissance and slowly declined to its halt. He was the first celebrated artist to separate Fresco from its classic tradition and set the base for its modern development. However, it takes longer for cultural changes to be reflected in Fresco, to be absorbed and delivered to the public by the artists. Changes in art during the 20th century have significantly influenced the Art of Fresco, releasing the Modern Fresco into the contemporary World, separate from its classic sister.
