SmART Talk: Modern Art vs Contemporary Art

You mean there's a difference between modern and contemporary art?!?
SmART Talk breaks it down for you in 2 minutes. This video was inspired by the 2014 exhibition "Matisse: Life in Color" at the San Antonio Museum of Art.

I'm a teacher of English as a second language and found this video to be a nice little introduction to a classroom debate about quality and value in art.

Thanks for posting this explanation. The Matisse exhibits were great. Got to see them this past weekend.

What you call contemporary art is distinguished by functioning in a far more mass media friendly environment, which encourages art which is mostly spectacle, appealing to a star system and the often very temporary values of the media..

This video enlighten me about the differences between modern and contemporary art

[damdamdam]

Finally someone is pointing this out. Amazing how many so called artists have no clue about this.

Can you please make more of these videos with the other art movements AND comparisons of each where needed? Even just being able to identify what art falls under the movements?

There is not consensus on what is contemporary art. Some historians say it's art made after the 70's and other say it's art after the 2 WW, and others say it's art made after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the late 80's. So, it's a matter of what point of view you choose.

According to the major auction houses Contemporary Art is any art Post 1945.

Mondern art is introspective Contempory art is what is mainstream today which tend to be not introspective, anti-art, non-art, bad art, jovial etc. Modern art goes back thousands of years to primitism and today its classed as Outsider art examples; Graffitti writing, Art Psychosis (Mental lll), Surealism (visionary and fantastic) folk art

Thank you for this video, you speak too fast, I would rather a slower pace, maybe it is because I'm quite far from the art world. Thanks anyway.

'Contemporary art' is just postmodernism retitled, with more obvious Frankfurt School agendas. It's postmodernism functioning without even the pretext of attempting to create any kind of art.

To summarize: Modern Art is good art vs Contemporary Art is shit
