+1 for the correction. -1000 for missing the point. When I last checked, synonyms for modern include contemporary, current, present day... I'm having a hard time drawing a comparison to CS terms, but I'm sure there are at least a few similarly ambiguous to outsiders. Edit: I'll write here, since I do think it was worth stating, that the original correction was that "modern art" in this context is often called "contemporary art" to distinguish it from art from the period "Modern", which is then referenced in "Post-Modern" art. Yes, history can be confusing, art history just the same. I don't pretend to understand it either ;-)
