Representations of the human unconscious from a secular perspective, which accounts for it's unstructured, otherworldly, or seemingly illogical content. Abstract, expressionism, and surrealism, to me are all manifestations of this psychological conception. In previous times this from of art can be found within religions iconography in relation to hell, the underworld, or folk art, all of which are depicting the same thing, merely through a different cultural perspective. In post-war era of the 50's onward, the works of Freud and Jung were already widely known and would have been a direct cultural influence on our understanding of the human mind. This can also be found in the experimental music of the time, especially in the 60's and 70's when electronic audio engineering was becoming more prevalent. I think another good example can be found in composers like Stockhausen. You can go further into analyzing this phenomena through the philosophical works of the 20th century. I think a lot of the (post)modern cultural theory found in the 80's and 90's can really aid in getting to the root of what modern art really represents, but for me music has been the best aid.
