🖼️ What Makes Art ‘Contemporary’?
“Contemporary” art refers to work created from the 1970s to now. It’s defined by what’s current—how artists respond to today’s world through bold ideas and fresh techniques.
Here’s how it stacks up:
-
Modern art: 1860s–1970s, focused on innovation and formal styles
-
Contemporary art: Post-1970s, about freedom, emotion, and ideas
-
Conceptual art: Art where the idea is more important than the visual
