There is a lot of difference between modern art and contemporary art. While the word ‘Modern’ seems to relate as of today, that is not the case.

So, any art which has taken place after 1970 is considered as contemporary art. The main reason why the year 1970 is used as a cut off period between a Modern art and a contemporary art is because it was during this period that terms like Postmodern and Postmodernism began to gain popularity. Apart from that it was during the 1970s that the artist’s movements took place.
