Understanding Contemporary Art 

Contemporary art refers to art created by living artists today, encompassing a wide range of mediums and styles. It reflects the current societal trends and often challenges traditional artistic boundaries. Emerging prominently from the 1970s onwards, contemporary art is dynamic and constantly evolving, engaging with modern cultural dialogues and societal issues.

Many people confuse contemporary art with modern art. While modern art pertains to a specific historical period from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, including movements like Impressionism and Cubism, contemporary art is always present and continues to develop. The key difference lies in the timeframe and the ongoing evolution of styles and concepts in contemporary art compared to the established movements of modern art.
