    Western artists in the 19th century rejected hyperrealism and linear perspective, emphasizing the flatness of the picture plane or engaging with conceptual and non-Western styles. Clement Greenberg identified flatness as defining modern art and its progression to non-objective abstraction. Pop Art in the 1960s further highlighted flatness, a trend that continues today where small parts combine to represent complex meanings clearly through a flattened style.

    Flatness in art

    - western artists (19th century) have rejected hyperrealism and the Renaissance ideal of linear
    perspective to emphasize the illusionistic nature of painting (the flatness of the picture plane),
    or engage with more conceptual, pre-Modern, or non-western modes of expressing human
    form.
    - Clement Greenberg famously identified flatness as the defining characteristic of modern art,
    the progress towards non-objective abstraction
    - Pop Art heightened the emphasis on flatness in the 1960s, a tendency that continues today
    in much contemporary art

    - the colour palette is very interesting and captivating (pale shades, low contrast). The
    stacking instead of deepening perspective can clearly be seen with trees and deer.
