How should modern art be understood?

That is not called modern art, the smart Chinese thousands of years ago proved that the wisdom of abstract art and Chinese painting lies in highlighting and exaggerating the meaning and connotation of things themselves, and modern art also survives under a strong historical foundation.

Modern art and ancient art are the same, and they are only in the same realm as each artist wants to reach.

Modern art tends to be abstract.

Understand it your way! Wish.

First, "modern art" is the dominant art form in the West since the 20th century. Since the beginning of the 20th century, as Western society has entered the modern period, modern art has emerged that is different from classical art and modern art, and its prominent feature is that the art form is no longer dominated by realistic style, but reflects the concept and formal language of the artist's personality, and many art schools have been formed, and a period is dominated by a certain art school. For example, we are more familiar with Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, Abstractionism, Pop Art, Photorealism, and so on.

Of course, no matter what kind of art form, what it reflects and expresses is the social psychological characteristics brought about by modern social changes, and it is the artist's exploration of artistic expression. The positive results have enriched people's aesthetic experience and opened up the space for visual expression of art. The problem is that because of the lack of common artistic standards and excessive individuality, the good and the bad in art are uneven, and some are detached from the public and go to extremes.

Second, in the process of modernization, "modern art" with its own cultural connotation related to the characteristics of its own social development has emerged, which reflects the process of social modernization in terms of content and embodies the modern spirit in art form. Due to the fact that the developed countries of the West have taken the lead in the process of modernization, the influence of Western "modern art" on the world is considerable, but this does not mean that the art of various countries is a copy of the West. In the 100 years of development of Chinese art in the 20th century, it has its own distinct cultural "modernity".

"Contemporary art" refers to today's art in terms of time, and mainly refers to art with a modern spirit and a modern language in terms of connotation. The reason why the term "contemporary art" is commonly used in exhibitions today is because the term "modern art" is easily confused with the existing "modernist art", and at the same time, "contemporary art" embodies not only "modernity", but also the "contemporaneity" of the artist based on the feelings of today's social life.

Postmodernism is an artistic, socio-cultural, and philosophical trend that took place in Europe and the United States in the 60s and became popular in the West in the 70s and 80s. It aims at abandoning the basic premises of modernity and its normative content. In postmodernist art, this renunciation is manifested in the rejection of modernist art as an autonomous value that divides the cultural field, and the rejection of modernism's formal and partisan principles.

Its essence is an intellectual anti-rationalism, moral cynicism, and emotional hedonism.

The degeneration of high culture (deliberately reducing oneself to the level of low culture).

I'm a graduate student in fine arts, and my answer to this question needs to be expressed in terms of the nature and content of modern and contemporary art. Specifically, art is a "reflection" of nature in the human mind, an ideology; The theory of practice holds that art is the processing and transformation of nature by man, and it is a kind of labor production, so art is called "second nature".

Human labor is to create material wealth and spiritual wealth, all art must have a creative subject, art is mainly to meet people's aesthetic needs in many aspects, so as to play a subtle role in social life, especially in the field of human spirit. According to the different means and methods of expression, it can be divided into performing arts (**, dance), plastic arts (painting, sculpture, architecture), language arts (literature), and comprehensive arts (drama, film and television). According to the spatio-temporal nature of the performance, it can be divided into temporal art (**), spatial art (painting, sculpture, architecture), and time-space juxtaposition art (literature, drama, film and television).

Starting from subjective understanding and feelings, he believes that art is the pursuit of beauty, art is the true embodiment of one's feelings, art is created for oneself, art is free, etc., and absolutes one's own personality. Art is a reflection of the objective world, originating from the real social and natural landscape, but it is not a simple understanding and reflection of things, but a work that has both form and spirit through people's subjective exploration, refinement, tailoring and processing, using corresponding techniques and tools, and using a certain form and context according to different needs.

Convey the author's feelings vividly, serve others, and serve society.
