Art. . .then and now
I've been learning about art both fine art and contemporary art in my first semester in college. Now what is contemporary art for you?
We know we're getting old when we sing along with elevator music 
.
Although J. M. W. Turner lived in the mid-1800s before the impressionists movement, I think he's very contemporary.
The bulk of his work can be seen at the Tate Museum in London. Last year, The Tate loaned their Turner collection to The Getty Institute in Los Angeles. The L.A. exhibit was a big hit. So from where I sit, contemporary art need not be 'temporary', 'retro', 'antiquated' or 'boring' unless the artist had nothing much to say.
