Note: there is considerable overlap with what is considered "modern", "contemporary" and "postmodern" particularly in the later years of the Modern period. The term contemporary art refers both to the visual arts being practiced in the present day and, more broadly, art made from the late 1960s into the 21st century. The term itself is controversial and subject to debate, but is generally accepted. Some of the defining features include but are not limited to a reaction pro or con to modernism and concern pro or con with postmodern theory. Contemporary art can have diversity of forms and approaches, a resistance to categorization into movements with a clear theoretical focus, an interdisciplinary approach to art, a concern with social and political issues, an interest in new media including site-specific art, installation art, the exploration of technology through art, and a renewed interest in painting or none of the above. Contemporary art galleries are the driving force behind new art. Contemporary art is also something that living and recently living artists do.
