- stephenc_c_ 11y agoModern refers to a period from the 1860s to the 1970s. Contemporary is present day.
- wickawic 11y ago'Modern' art is art made from ~1870 to ~1970 (an oversimplification). 'Contemporary' art just means art made in the present time.
- foobarbecue 11y agoModern Art includes Picasso, Van Gough, etc. Wikipedia says it ended in the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_art Contemporary means happening right about now.

- chris_wot 11y agoIn that case, the contemporary art created now will in 20 years also be an oxymoron.
- mchahn 11y agoThey are going to run out of adjectives. I was in a drug store recently and the cold medicines that used to say full-strength or maximum-strength now say "extreme". They are also going to run out of adjectives.
