Contemporary Arts
from the Regions

CONTEMPORARY ART
Contemporary art is art produced at the
present period in time.
Contemporary art includes, and develops
from, postmodern art, which is itself a
successor to modern art. In vernacular
English, "modern" and "contemporary" are
synonyms, resulting in some conflation of the
terms "modern art" and "contemporary art"
by non-specialists.

 Contemporary art as the work of artists who

are living in the twenty-first century.

A good rule of thumb is:

Modern Art: Art from the Impressionists(say,
around 1880) up until the 1960s or '70s.

Contemporary Art: Art from the

1960s or '70s up until this very

minute.

 First, because it was around 1970 that the

terms "Postmodern" and "Postmodernism"
popped up -- meaning, we must assume, that
the art world had had its fill of Modern Art
starting right then.
Secondly, 1970 seems to be the last bastion
of easily classified artistic movements.
