4. Modern Art
•
Modernart, as history sees it, is a collection of all the works of art that fall
between the late 1800s (around 1860) to the mid 1900s (around 1970). For the
realm of modern art, we have painters like Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Paul
Cezanne and Henri Matisse.
Modern art is represented by works like Les Demoiselles d‘Avignon by Picasso
and Spirit of the Dead Watching by Gauguin.
•
It includes all the technical molds that were created in this period, or all the 'isms'-
Expressionism, Impressionism, Post-impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Dadaism,
Surrealism and Pop Art.

5. Contemporary Art
•
Contemporaryart is defined by the time it was created rather than the type it falls under. And
the time is what the type itself defines - now. What you see in the present created around you is nothing
but contemporary art.
Of course, that's not the only reason to separate modern from contemporary.
When you say 'this piece is contemporary',
you mean it is created in the present.
You also mean that the piece is something that does not reply to the conformity of traditional art or
modern art.
If history is anything to go by, then contemporary art is said to start out around the 1950s and continues
to this day.
Contemporary art is what an artist creates if he/she makes something that, even if
it is inspired by modern art, follows none of its boundaries. If modern art is a mold,
then contemporary art is what breaks that mold to become something else.
