Contemporary Art, for purposes of curation and research, is considered any art created after World War II and, for many people, acts as the latter period of modern art. Contemporary Art expanded on the styles, techniques and aesthetics of previous generations while also developing new styles and techniques and, increasingly, incorporating digital technology. This book examines the progression of contemporary art movements from the 1950s to the 2000s, discussing trends, aesthetics, ideologies, significant figures and cultural impact.
