- JKCalhoun 6y agoSeeing as it was 70 years ago, should we still call it "modern" art or is that now an era — like mid-century modern.
- goto11 6y agoModern is just the name of the genre. Like "art nouveau" is a genre which similarly is not very new anymore!
- detaro 6y agoIt is an era, but the era is called "modern art".
- chickenpotpie 6y agoModern != contemporary
- pmoriarty 6y agoMuch of the value of Pollock's work is that he did that kind of work first. Though I'm not sure why he had to repeat himself once he made his first action painting. I have a lot more respect for artists like Marcel Duchamp, who was always developing in radically new directions and did not like to repeat himself, in great contrast to one-trick ponies like Pollock.
