Contemporary art is producing work that speaks to you and yourself. Transition into modernism always involves technologies in one form or another. all of the various pieces of technology that helps our everyday life. Contemporary: happening at the same time as or what is happening how. (picasso was a contemporary of braque; if you visit the galleries on queen st w you will see new works by contemporary artists) Mies van der rohe (1949-1951) vs frank gehry guggenheim museum (1997) Technology- computer aided design to shape the curves. Barnett newman concord (1949) vs joane tod . In the kitchen (1975) using the zip in the middle. newman was very involved in the paint. Modern one- all about form & geometrical shapes. basic abstraction of form. Concerned about transcending the meaning- meant to engage with. React with personal ways with personal associations. Venus is goddess of beauty and love, willendorf is modern name of where thing was.
