	Contemporary art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		Contemporary art often also crosses the boundaries of medium; it is not limited by materials or methodology.

		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 the art of the early 20th century.

	Singular Visions \| Contemporary American Folk Art
		American folk art of recent years includes many voices: the mud paintings of women violinists by Jimmy Lee Sudduth, the metal cutouts of Uncle Sam and Elvis by R. Miller, the carved mother and baby pigs of Garland and Minnie Adkins, and the scrawled and intense religious visions of Mary Proctor.
		All cultures and groups possess traditions, lore, and art that when identified can be labeled "folk art." Instead of the adjective folk applied to this contemporary art, writers have suggested alternatives: outsider, naive, self-taught, primitive, vernacular, amateur, as well as more specialized referents--visionary, intuitive, or memory art.
		Pop Art was expanding the categories of subject matter for art, music and festivals were generating a new interest in folk expressions, and academia was shifting away from the study of great men toward an interest in the life of the common person.

	Contemporary Art
		Contemporary art is usually defined as about the second half of the twentieth century.
		Artists in this movement felt that the expression of their feelings was the main reason for making art, and the art they made generally had no reference to anything in the external world--thus the term, abstract.
		It should be added, however, that a number of contemporary artists use their art for social purposes and that sometimes we can justify the ugliness of their art, for it can be a powerful force for good.
