    Contemporary art refers to art created from the 1960s to present day, while modern art spans from the 1880s to the 1960s. Both modern and contemporary art broke away from traditional artistic conventions, with modern art emphasizing subjective representation over realism and contemporary art reflecting social and political issues of its time. While modern art focused on experimenting with artistic purity, contemporary art is more eclectic and influenced by mass media.

    •What is contemporary art?

     Contemporary Art is "art that has been and continues to be created during our
    lifetimes." In other words, it is contemporary to us, the viewers
    .
    •Different between contemporary arts and modern arts

     Modern Art is art from the Impressionists (say, around 1880) up until the 1960s
    or '70s.
     Contemporary Art is art from the 1960s or '70s up until this very minute.

    Modern and contemporary art are art forms of two different times. Modern art
    refers to the period that began in the 1880s and that lasted until the 1960s.
    Contemporary art can be said to be the art that was developed after the 1960s and is
    still emerging.

    Artists like Van Gogh and Manet are credited with revolutionizing the art in the
    1880s and giving a new realm to it. Modern art broke away from the conventional forms
    of art. They emphasized on the subjective representation of subjects rather than
    focusing on realism that was prevalent before the 1880s. Modern art had its unique
    style and reflected the inner and the outer world. Modern art focused on surrealism
    rather than depicted life as perceived by the church or the influential in society.

    Contemporary art is one created by artists who are still living. The late 1900s saw
    major social, political, and cultural reformations across the world which had greatly
    influenced this art form. There was no rigid form in contemporary art, but some rigid
    forms could be seen in modern art. Every topic of relevant significance like
    globalization, global warming, human rights, environmental destruction were reflected in
    the contemporary arts.

    Unlike modern art, contemporary art has some social impact. Moreover,
    contemporary artists had significant freedom and liberty to experiment with all styles.
    Modern artists tend to find the pure idea of art. Contemporary artists are very liberal in
    their attitudes, and they are least concerned about purity in art.

    •Similarities between contemporary arts and modern arts

    Before we begin any discussion of genres and periods, it’s necessary that we
    have a consensus about what terms mean.
    It is widely agreed that “Modern Art” started with the Impressionists who made a radical
    break from the art that came before it. That trend continued into the 1960’s when so
    many things ( among them standards ) changed.
    And it is widely agreed that, although many people continued in the Modern Art tradition
    after the ‘60’s , the dominant art movement since then has been what is called
    Contemporary Art.
    •General characteristics of contemporary arts

    There are several general characteristics of contemporary art:

     There are no general characteristics


     Extreme eclecticism obtains, where every style, media, period, artist can all exist
    simultaneously
     Is interpenetrated by the market in ways reminiscent of the past, though in many
    ways unlike anything seen before at least in scope
     Painting does not dominate
     Contemporary art tends to feed off of, derives its inspiration from images,
    developments- what have you, from something called quaintly-mass media, the
    Internet, Has a great many more modalities to give form: soundscapes,
    odorscapes, performance, video and some un-named to cite but a few
     More people doing it, involved in it and “professionalized” with degrees specific to
    it than at any time in the past.
