Contemporary Art is one branch of art that is affected by the impact of modernization. Contemporary means contemporary, modern or more precisely something that is the same as the conditions of the same time or at present, so contemporary art is an art that is not bound by the rules of the past and it develops according to the present age, as well as with the latest trends among contemporary artists.
Contemporary painting is a work that thematically reflects the situation of the time being passed. For example, paintings that are no longer tied to Rennaissance. Similarly with the dance, more creative and modern.
The word "contemporary" comes from the words "co" (together) and "tempo" (time). So it emphasizes that contemporary art is a work that thematically reflects the situation of the time being passed. Or the opinion that says that "contemporary art" is art that opposes the traditions of Western modernism.
Contemporary Art is the development of art that is affected by the impact of modernization and is used as a general term since the term Contemporary Art developed in the West as an art product made since World War II.
This term developed in some countries as a variety of techniques and mediums used to produce works of art, also because there has been a mixture of practices of different disciplines, artistic choices, and choices of presentation of works that are not bound by space and time boundaries.
