Modern and Contemporary Art

For most users of artwork, the development of an art in the current times and the future becomes a complex area to understand. One of the problems is that people are not certain about the art they will have to categorize as postmodern and contemporary (The Art Story,2017). Although a loose differentiation of the two defines postmodern art, as the artistic works going against the inventions of the modernism while the contemporary art are works of the current artists taking current ideas.
The difference between these two is that the contemporary art covers the particular period when an individual exists while postmodern art has no limits. The fields of art covered under postmodern and contemporary production is without any limitations but extends to all the works artists can do (The Art Story,2017). Different theorists described these types of art in postmodernism and contemporary in their ways. An example of a theorist is Hal Foster, an American artist. This paper defines the stand taken by Foster and includes the influences of such a concern to the contemporary and postmodern art.
Foster’s view of art was to contribute to the diversification of art in the current times and making it easy for individuals to have the assortment of work to choose. Such understandings remained to end some logical ladder of work passing from one generation to the other. His philosophies were that artists combined the old-fashioned and new methodologies of doing artwork (Foster, 2015). An example is an avant-garde, which he recommended would mix well in the current political critic in the efforts of artists. In doing so, people had the chance to evaluate the real things they could absorb and use in art while taking keen interest to filter hat they found unnecessary (Foster, 2015). These were in relations to technology and new inventions that were coming to art. While his stand was the adoption of these devices, there was a need to combine the ideas of traditional artwork into the current to reach a combination of the two (Foster, 2015). This is where most people take positions regarding art.
Personal opinions regarding this stand on art are in support of the ideas of Foster. The world evolves with more changes courtesy of the research people are making. Ideas come in and alter the appearance of artistic work while concepts remain the same (The Art Story, 2017). In bringing in modern, postmodern and contemporary ideas, artists should be concerned not to dwarf the history of the field. The current productions of art change from one to the other, with advancements from the past, in a way that erodes it of the past (Foster, 2015). Adopting new art should not make one take in the complexities brought to undermine the simple, abstract and old ideas of artists. Foster was right on this as most artists work according to the desires of individuals, who are after the changes of technology to the new environment, and what they use.
Finally, a combination of art from old, modern, contemporary, postmodern neutralizes the ideas of people and comes with the advantage of making it easy to acquire an all-round view of the artwork. Individuals can make choices at will because of the variety of talents and diverse techniques of work (The Art Story, 2017). In doing so, no piece of art appears superior or dwarfed than the others. Besides, it creates a transition of time from one form of art to another, in an organized way.
In conclusion, the works of contemporary and postmodern art are taking a dangerous place in societies. Artists are transiting from one form to another, carrying along the medium of change. Hal Foster, an artist in America, advises that contemporary and postmodern art should not take the chance of the inventions in the current world to dwarf the old artwork. Their changes mix with the ancient art to have a stable transition and a neutral presentation of art.
