I’ve always considered modern art to be some sort of abstract painting, or anything similar that you just couldn’t figure out what the purpose was. Maybe it’s just me but I always felt that way. All the colours in the picture are simply too strongly related to the theory of the new age in my opinion.
Newer the less when it comes to today’s modern art the expression contemporary art is much more precise.

Contemporary art work doesn’t have to be some abstract painting or composition that only the artist self truly understand, leaving the rest of us scratching our heads. Personally I think there has to be some meaning and realism in a painting, being a simple person I don’t want my art works to be to complex or confusing.

The contemporary art genre is luckily rather huge, and you can find some wonderful paintings that are quiet easy to understand and interpret with your eyes. Many portraits and landscapes are incredibly fascinating in the area of contemporary art, so you can count me in as a new biggest fan of this fussy society.

The movement of contemporary art is now, together with some geometric designs in my furnishings, the foundation of my home decoration, and the best part is that I’m in addition able to recognize the representations of those designs.

What truly appeals to the antique collector in me is the fact that the movement of contemporary art started as early as the late 19th century. I have some rather old art pieces in my home, and it brings me great pleasure to combine those contemporary art pieces together with some very fascinating antiques from the 19th Century.

The fact that I’m still able to come across paintings in contemporary art that not just suits my personal taste but looks very decorative in my home too, gives me a tremendous pleasure. Both my mind and my eyes is now opened to contemporary art works, and I have found a brand new positive reaction on behalf of abstract paintings.

Basically we still look at art the same way our ancestor’s did, but today we are given much more powerful tools to develop our pieces of art.

In the old world, held back by primitive tools, humans strove to create art that presented the life around them. This could be anything the related to in there lifestyle, but mainly people, animals and tools. Later on some of the masters developed a talent for more spiritual art work creations.

There’s no more a need for creating realistic illustrations, as our digital cameras or webcams in most cases captures details more precisely than we are capable to create by hand.

Presenting our work of art in a figurative way is a major factor in this day and age. Today it have to make some sense and include a deeper meaning, superficial illustrations simply won’t work.

Artists today se no limitations in research of new ways to implement in art making. All kind of odd ways are being explored to make their art work outstanding.

• Blend a frog in a food blender.
• Let a dog or a cat paint canvas images.
• Cut out a whole horse and placing the parts in a certain way.

Those are just some of the ways some artists present their work of art, whether you like it or not, the whole idea behind is to discover new ways to present word art. It’s up to you to decide whether its original or discount Art work
