Modern art refers to artistic works produced from the 1860s to about the 1970s. It refers to the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era.[1]p102 The period coincides with the invention of mechanical means of recording images: photography and film.[2]

The term modern art is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation.[3]p419 Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art, including minimalism . More recent artistic production is often called Contemporary art or Postmodern art.
