- marcosdumay 2y agoThat's the "Modern" cultural movement. The "Modern" Age instead ended at around the 17th or the 18th century. Naming anything "modern" is pure hubris.
- ProfessorLayton 2y agoThe fact that there's confusion on how to use the word "modern" is why I dislike it. When people say they hate "modern" art they usually mean contemporary art.
- seydor 2y agoor just modern, because modern/modernist architecture is different from contemporary
- ProfessorLayton 2y agoI was saying most people tend use the term incorrectly, not that they're the same.
- jltsiren 2y agoIn European history, the early modern period is roughly 1500 to 1800, and "modern" without qualifiers usually refers to the period starting from ~1800. In other fields, "modern" may have a specific meaning due to historical baggage, or it can simply refer to the present day. The latter is basically the literal meaning of the word.
- philwelch 2y agoActually the modern period began in the 15th century; one common starting date is the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
