Modern Art, Contemporary Art

Modern art was the predecessor of contemporary art. Modern art came into existence around the 1860s and continued up to the 1960s. In contrast, contemporary art or post-modern art came into existence in the 1960s and 70s.  They have a flavour of modernism mixed with the traditional style and concepts that define the ‘present-day taste and style. Contemporary art painting is easy to interpret, and also, apart from colors and shapes, drawings are made in close relation to the real world.
