Modern art or contemporary art, what’s the difference?

Looking for modern or contemporary art?

There is sometimes confusion about modern or contemporary art. In art criticism, recent art from the 1960s onward is usually called contemporary art or current art. Earlier expressions of 20th century art are usually called “modern art” in art history. Contemporary art is all visual art made “now.” These are exhibited mainly in museums and art galleries. But the dividing line is not absolute, and some artists fall into both categories.
