The Modern Art Artist List
Modern art is a general term used for most of the
artistic work from the late 19th century until approximately
the 1970s. (Recent art production is more often called
Contemporary art or Postmodern art). Modern art refers to
the new approach to art which placed emphasis on representing
emotions, themes, and various abstractions. Artists
experimented with new ways of seeing, with fresh ideas about
the nature of materials and functions of art, often moving
further toward abstraction.
The notion of modern art is closely related to Modernism.
