Category:Modern Art

Modern art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s. ... Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency away from the narrative, which was characteristic of the traditional arts, toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art, in opposition to academic art. More recent artistic production is often called Contemporary art or Postmodern art.
