About "Contemporary art"
"Contemporary art" refers to recently produced visual art. The term "contemporary art" has replaced the term "modern art", which used to be used in the same way, but became identified with the period of work when it was first employed and has thus became a historical term. There is an overlap of usage of "contemporary art" with "Postmodern art", which posits that a significant inflection point was reached in the history of art in about the 1990s.

About "Modern art"
Modern art is a general term used for most of the artistic production 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 then new approach to art where it was no longer important to represent a subject realistically — the invention of photography had made this function of art obsolete. Instead, artists started experimenting with new ways of seeing, with fresh ideas about the nature, materials and functions of art, often moving further toward abstraction.
