| | Contemporary art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Art made or performed since Modernism is also sometimes called postmodern art, but as postmodernism can refer to both a historical timeframe and an aesthetic approach, and many contemporary artists' work does not exhibit some of the key elements of the postmodern aesthetic, "contemporary" may be preferred as a more inclusive adjective. | | | Contemporary art should not be confused with the workings of modern art, although the trends and movements in contemporary practice may directly refer to modernism. | | | The use of the literal adjective "contemporary" to define this period in art history is partly due to the lack of any distinct or dominant school of art as recognized by artists, art historians and critics. |

| | Contemporary art at opensource encyclopedia |
| | Contemporary art should not be confused with modern art - the former is art being created today and the art of roughly the past three decades, while the latter generally refers to art from the late 19th century until the 1970s. | | | Because of this, contemporary art is often criticized for being "meaningless" or for "not being art." Contemporary art often has the goal of criticizing or commenting on society, politics, and religion. | | | Contemporary art encompasses all art being done now. |

| | Albert Namatjira (1902-1959) is the best known of all Aboriginal artists for he began the contemporary art movement with his western-style watercolor paintings. | | | Today, bark paintings are made in the Kimberley, Tiwi, and Arnhem Land and stylistically relate to the rock art (the Kimberley and western Arnhem Land) or body painting and ceremonial objects (Central Australian and eastern Arnhem Land). | | | Traditionally, aboriginal art was to be used only by those who had the knowledge and right to do so. |
