      Contemporary Art 101 - Rome Williams

      Introduction

      Welcome to Contemporary Art 101, where we will focus on the exploration and the progression of contemporary art.

      It is undeniable that contemporary art has an unprecedented number of forms, styles, agendas and practices. Many argue that much that is called contemporary art is not art at all. But the definition of the word art has no real boundaries; it simply states that art is The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as a painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

Modern art is generally associated with art created between 1860 and the 1970s, whereas, contemporary art started in the 1960s and continues to the present day. Just to add further to this confusion, contemporary art is also called
