contemporary art, originating from current or past artistic practices.

contemporary art often addresses social and political issues, often being more experimental in materials and methods.

Emphasis on Concept – modern art focuses on expression and emotion, Contemporary art prioritizes the concept and
idea behind the work, while also emphasizing the message or meaning of the work over its formal qualities.

Use of Multimedia and technology - Contemporary art blurs boundaries between art and technology, incorporating
multimedia and interactive elements, while traditional media like paint and sculpture are primarily used in modern art.

Ongoing Movement - Modern art is a fixed historical period, while contemporary art is an ongoing movement that
evolves and adapts to the current social and political climate.

Modern art vs Contemp Art

Neoclassical style - Classical art movements, inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, promote harmony, clarity, restraint,
universality, and idealism in the arts.

Modern art referred as “traditional”, Contemp art is “present” continuously in process and in flux
Neo-realist artists like Tabuena, Ocampo, Manansala, Oteyza, Estella, and Legaspi were active, post-WWII. Called
neorealist by critic Aguilar Cruz, portrayed societal issues and challenged the Neoclassic style, with Social Realists of the
1970s being heirs.

Contemporary art lacks a single characteristic and is characterized by the artist's ability to innovate and create modern
masterpieces.
