    In Between Modern and Contemporary Art


    • Beginning of 20th centuries; social,
    political, and cultural context continued to
    provoke artists to create.
    • “Art may be spoilt for choice. And so arts
    today can be seen as responding to a
    number of issues, some from within their
    own structures of means and techniques,
    some more widely understood as issues
    within society. Typically, none is
    resolved.” (Tamplin, 1991)
    • Contemporary art was heavily driven
    by ideas and theories, and the even
    the blurring of notions of what is and
    can be considered as art.
    • Reeling after the war, one of the
    early movements was abstract
    expressionism (early 1940s – mid
    1960s).

    painters; Clyfford Still, Jackson Pollock,

    Jiro in 1952.
    • the goal was not only to explore the materiality of
    the implements used in the performance but also
    to hold a deeper desire to make sense of the
    relationship.
    Minimalism

    • Early 1960s.
    • Testing the boundaries of various media.

    favored geometric shapes, color fields, and
