A modern artist, by definition, is an artist who focuses specifically on works that were popular from the 1860s decade to the decade of the 1970s. Somewhere along the line, the 1980s to the present day were not included in this representation of modern art, causing one to wonder: what does a modern artist do, and why are the most recent decades in our existence not considered modern art? Below, an explanation of what a modern artist does and what other popular forms of artists do as well, from those involved with contemporary works to those who focus their creations on art of an abstract nature.

To start to explain this concept and make the distinction among these various forms of art, a look at famous modern artists is in order. These modern art artists have created respective names for themselves as artists who understand modern art as an art form in and of itself. These artists are listed in alphabetical order on some websites that have the express purpose of highlighting these famous and not so famous artists. These sites are good too at naming all famous contemporary artists, who work on present day materials, thus answering the question above about what today’s artists represent.

These contemporary artists, then, are different from today’s modern artist in that they focus their energies on creating contemporary, or present day, works. So today’s contemporary artist is more interested in making a name for himself or herself in the area of today’s works rather than the works of yesteryear, from the 1860s to 1970s as previously described. Taking this one step further, today’s abstract artist is inherently concerned with creating art that is abstract in nature, meaning that the art created does not really have a rhyme or reason to it but that uses a visual sort of language, line, or color to create works that can exist with a certain amount of independence or freedom from the limits and constrictions of other types of art.

Of course, on these sites are listed abstract artists, and contemporary and modern ones too. From these sites, then, one could explore the artists making their respective impacts in these fields of art. From art students to those who just like to know the difference between a contemporary and a modern artist, these sites offer excellent clues into these worlds and into the respective art forms that each represents.

For many, learning about and enjoying art is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby. Though everyone has unique tastes and will appreciate different types of art, there is sure to be something that can interest anyone, no matter how limited their experience with or appreciation for art might be. Many will find that the work of famous contemporary artists is quite enjoyable. The contemporary artists of today are able to produce a wide variety of works that offer something to interest virtually everyone. As a result, anybody looking for a new hobby and way to enjoy their free time should check out some modern artists.

One of the things that makes contemporary artists so unique, especially when compared to past artists who used traditional methods, is that they can use technology to create items that were virtually impossible to create previously. Some famous modern artists will use computers in order to create 3D renderings of the items that they want to build. Doing so allows contemporary artists to build beautiful sculptures and other items with great accuracy and efficiency. This does not mean that they are reducing their ability to be talented modern art artists, but rather, capitalizing on opportunities to showcase their skills and creativity.

In addition to helping contemporary artists produce outstanding works, technology allows them to increase their visibility. Previously, individuals looking to buy a great piece of art had to head to galleries or retailers in order to find items. Doing so meant that they had a limited number of pieces of art to choose from, and might have rendered them unable to find the one they wanted for their home. Today, however, individuals can check out thousands of items created by contemporary artists by visiting different websites. This means that anybody can find the art they need to add a unique touch to their home.

One of the things that has not changed over time is that contemporary artists are able to be as free as they would like when producing original items. This can be particularly great for abstract artists who might not want the restrictions of having to meet certain guidelines. In fact, to some people, the best contemporary artists are those who produce items that are completely unique and are in a class of their own. Though they might be rare, learning about them is a great way for someone to begin a new hobby.

If you consider yourself an abstract artist, you probably already know how difficult it is to create abstract art pieces that other people can appreciate. Understanding abstract art is something that students can learn about in art classes in high school and in college. Not everyone appreciates the work that an abstract artist does though. You have to be a abstract artist aficionado to appreciate some of the pieces being done by the modern art artists now. Aspiring abstract art students can learn to recognize what constitute abstract art and then learn from famous abstract artists today.

Some of today’s contemporary artists are quite talented and gifted at creating masterful art pieces. There are several famous contemporary artists in the world today. Some famous artists of old are also in the abstract artist class who were way ahead of their time. Some of the famous contemporary artists to learn about today would be Willi Baumeister, Stuart Davis or Arthur Dove. Another famous abstract artist you should know about is Simon Addyman. He is from Colchester England. He went to the Colchestesr school of Art as well as the City and Guilds Art School in London. He later moved to the United States. Addyman, well known for his intense gestural brushstrokes, is famous for painting his emotions.

David Belovas is another well known contemporary artist. After graduating from the Tbillsi Academy of Art in 1979, Belovas began experimenting with his artistic talents. He went on to gain the recognition of the Union of Artists as a contemporary artist in the U.S.S. R.

One way to see the work of a modern artist in person is to go to a local art gallery. Some art galleries arrange for special showings of the work that famous modern artists have done. When you travel to large cities be sure you check the art galleries to see if they have any work from a local contemporary artist on display.

When it comes to contempoary, abstract, and modern art artists, Americans can be an ignorant bunch. One would be hard pressed to approach people randomly on the street and find more than five percent who can state the difference between a famous modern artists and famous comtemporary artists. The reasons for this are difficult to determine. However, a good bet might be due to the fact that art is not valued as highly in the United States as it is in other parts of the world; and that is a shame. Art of all kinds is what makes the world beautiful, interesting, and unique; and it is through art and literature that humans often have learned about the past.

Some claim that the old fashioned, no nonsense American spirit, which encourages citizens to be straight forward, hard working, if unrefined, individualists condones an attitute that modern art artists and aesthetics are useless, serve no legitimate purpose, and offer no tangible value. It would be interesting to know how many people who harbor such narrow minded opinions actually recognize how the work of modern art artists affects their lives. Although it would be difficult to make such a measurement, a good guess might be in the range of 90 percent or more. Unless one decides to adorn themselves in completely black attire with no style, and drive flat black automobiles that look like boxes on wheels, they need to reconsider the value of visual arts on their lives. Without the efforts of modern art artists, contemporary artists, and abstract artists, the world would be a dull place with tired ideas.

Everything from the way people dress, the homes in which they live, and the cars they drive are some how related to the work of modern art artists. But art does not only make life more interesting, unique, and colorful, but it provides world citizens with a sense of history and human accomplishment. After all, not too long after everyone is dead and buried, history will not remember the money they made today, yesterday, or at any time; nor will it make any notes about 99.99 percent of us. However, the great modern art artists will live on for centuries.

For those who exist outside the margins of the contemporary art world, when they think of famous modern artists and famous contemporary artists, they would likely be perplexed for a couple of different reasons. For one, it seems that the only famous artists that most people have heard of are dead and gone. Among these are, of course, the most famous artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, and even Andy Warhol. While the exact meaning of the term modern may confuse those who are ignorant about the world of art and its many overlapping periods and schools, they might consider Andy Warhol one of the famous modern artists, and they would be right to do so, as he was alive during most of their lifetimes. However, others would not consider Andy Warhol to be on of the famous modern artists, nor a famous contemporary artist, because his heyday occurred back in the late sixties and the early seventies, during the post beat generation. For whatever reason, most Americans are not well educated in the areas of visual arts or the history of modern visual arts. They may not even be able to identify an abstract artist from any period of history, probably do not know the difference between modern art and contemporary art, and certainly would not be able to name any famous comtemporary artists.

The reason that Americans are ignorant when it comes to famous modern artists and contemporary artists, is that in the United States, art is considered by many to be unimportant. Americans have always been known to be a practical bunch, and a large portion of them have little interest or time to waste learning about such a fluffy, irrelevant topic as art. Ironically, however, many Americans do like that they have traditions and will argue that traditions are necessary for any culture; but, at the same time, they display little interest in the very platform that is necessary for culture and tradition. The truth is, without art, any culture would be drab, bland, and just plain boring Famous modern artists pushed the envelope and helped to bring about changes in culture that influence the lifestyles of every citizen. The influence of famous modern artists can be identified rather easily in fashion, animation, film, music, books, architecture, and all of those so called irrelevant things that everyone enjoys.

There are plenty of modern artist out there now a days doing all sorts of unique, and stunning work. Contemporary artists from all over the world are involved in a plethora of styles. Some of these artists are concerned with there work making some sort of social commentary. Others just want visually stunning pieces. Whatever their motivation, the modern artist is more plentiful then any other time in history.

The abstract artist produces stunning works that often leave the eyes dancing in the viewer’s head. Different shapes will often swirl and interact in a pool of colors that leaves the viewer with the sense of being lost in a visual waterfall. There are many famous contemporary artists and famous modern artists who have achieved this effect.

Many a modern artist will use their artistic skills to point out what they take to be an important commentary on some social issue. Often times it will center around gender, race, or socio economic matters. The goal is to convince the viewer of the importance of the issue being portrayed, and hopefully compel them into action in the name of that issue. The modern art artists will use their artistic ability to try and seamlessly integrate their work with the real life around them. To truly make a piece of art that will speak to the viewer about, say the racism still felt by the African American today, the art must be representative of that racism in a way which the viewer will say to themselves “oh yeah, I have seen that.” Only then will the message of the art get across.

The modern artist operates in diverse mediums to get their point out there. Some use canvas and paint, some pencil and paper. Some will make 3D objects of one sort or another, and still some will use the medium of sound. The mediums available are almost as endless as the messages they are trying to get across. The modern artist is truly an animal of many masks.

Art is often lost in the craziness that happens to be everyday life these days. The truth is, artistic freedom is just becoming more and more common and, although beautiful and captivating, is less likely to be recognized as unique or rare. A contemporary artist who produces artistic work today is less likely to be recognized as a new smartphone model will be. The advances in technology may be to blame for art being lost on society but there are great and inspiring contemporary artists out there to explore. Check out local art galleries featuring contemporary artists in your area to uncover a local gem or start researching famous contemporary artists who have had major influences on the modern art artists in the world today.

Famous modern artists are less likely to dazzle with a paint brush than they are to produce a new work of art out of a paint can. Somewhat like an abstract artist, today we see an up and coming contemporary artist looking for new, unique, and free form concepts to make new art. One of the more famous works of our generation, speaking for the rest of the 30 somethings out there, is a motion picture that uses music and a closer look at how film and time are correlated. It is quite successful and has been held in high regard by contemporary artists and critics throughout the world. The big thing to understand is that, much like fashion trends and styles have evolved and faded out over the years, so has traditional art. A contemporary artist is still allowed to use a paintbrush and a canvas but it is also perfectly acceptable for them to use pieces of metal, iron, and steel to forge a new piece out of scraps.

There is no trick to finding a contemporary artist who is considered ‘the best’ or a the ‘new Michelangelo.’ Instead, the saying ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ determines what we find attractive. Today, a contemporary artist is more likely to create something that qualifies as abstract rather than traditional art but, thanks to the individual freedom each artist is innately granted, that does not deem it good nor bad. It is all about what the viewer of a contemporary artists work sees that determines whether they like it or not.

“Starry Night” by Van Gogh. “The Mona Lisa” by Da Vinci. We all know these famous works of art. But, did you know that there are amazing, relatively undiscovered contemporary artists creating new works today? There is a whole world of modern artists for you to check out. If you want to really get in touch with what is going on in the world of art these days, you have to check out some famous modern art artists and abstract artists that are still alive and producing great works.

Although it can be wonderful to live in a major city where famous modern artists are regularly practicing their crafts, holding gallery openings, and, for some, even teaching burgeoning creative types, it is not necessary to be within a stones throw of the best contemporary artists to find out what is going on. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere, if you have a connection to the internet (which, obviously, you do, because you are reading this article), you can join online discussion forums and art journals on the world wide web that can help you make sure that you do not miss a beat when something happens in the art world.

Learning about contemporary artists is a great way for other artists to get some great inspiration. Although it is possible to create your own work in a vacuum, so to speak, learning about other contemporary artists and seeing what they are up to can really help to get the creative juices flowing. Many contemporary artists hit mental blocks with their work, so, if you have been having trouble moving forward with a concept, or even picking up your brush, chisel, or markers, it might be a good time to inundate yourself with the work of some other contemporary artists who are not in the middle of such a block. Opening your mind to the work of other creatives and contemporary artists could help to break up the blockage that you are experiencing, and give way to a flood of creativity and personal expression.
