Contemporary Art
Contemporary Art
- Contemporary art is the art of today, produced in the second half of the 20 th
century or in the 21st century. Contemporary artists work in a globally
Influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world.
- Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and
subjects that continue the challenging of boundaries that was already well
underway in the 20th century.
- Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very
lack of a uniform, organizing principle, ideology, or “-ism”. Contemporary art is
part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as
personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.
