SOCIAL CONTEXT: IN BETWEEN MODERN AND
CONTEMPORARY ART
Modern art refers to the period that
began in the 1880s and that lasted until
the 1960s.
Artists like Van Gogh and Manet are
credited with revolutionizing the art in
the 1880s and giving a new realm to it.
They emphasized on the subjective
representation of subjects rather than
focusing on realism that was prevalent
before the 1880s.
Modern art focused on surrealism rather
than depicted life as perceived by the church
or the influential in society.
It lasted for an entire century.

POST MODERNISM
the most pertinent movement tjat solidfied the
move to contemporary arts
There are several characteristics which lend art to
being postmodern; these include bricolage, the
use of text prominently as the central artistic
element, collage, simplification, appropriation,
performance art, the recycling of past styles and
themes in a modern-day context, as well as the
break-up of the barrier between fine and high arts
and low art and popular culture.
