About
"Contemporary
art"
"Contemporary
art" refers to recently produced visual
art. The term "contemporary art" has
replaced the term "modern
art", which used to be used in the same
way, but became identified with the period
of work when it was first employed and has
thus became a historical term. There is an
overlap of usage of "contemporary art" with
"Postmodern
art", which posits that a significant
inflection point was reached in the history
of art in about the 1990s.

About "Modern art"
Modern art is a general term used for
most of the artistic production from the
late 19th century until approximately the
1970s. (Recent art production is more often
called
Contemporary art or
Postmodern art). Modern art refers to
the then new approach to art where it was no
longer important to represent a subject
realistically — the invention of
photography had made this function of
art obsolete. Instead, artists started
experimenting with new ways of seeing, with
fresh ideas about the nature, materials and
functions of art, often moving further
toward
abstraction. |
