What is modernity according to charles baudelaire

And modernity in art "is more than merely the state of being modern, or the opposition between old and new"(Smith 2009). In the essay "The Painter of Modern Life" (1864), Charles Baudelaire gives a literary definition: "By modernity I mean the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent" (Baudelaire 1964, 13)

i hope this helps in some way :0)

sorry, but you need to write this essay on your own, or it's plagurism! use the information you gave to you. and find a good topic from the news your good at. for example, video games? just search on your search engine, "video games on the news" and read and watch about it. : ) then just write!
