the modernist society

the modernist society (the lack of capitals is deliberate, in line with the modernist philosophy of embracing innovation and seeking freedom from traditional forms and established rules) is the meeting place for all those who are interested in the often-derided 20th-century movement that was inspired by the possibilities of industrialisation and urbanisation, by abstraction, and by new forms of artistic, literary, and architectural expression – the polar opposite of William Morris and the tradition hugging acolytes of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The society has a network of city ‘chapters’ based in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Huddersfield, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield
