Contemporary art is art produced at the present period in time. Contemporary art includes, and develops from, Postmodern art, which is itself a successor to Modern art. In vernacular English, «modern» and «contemporary» are synonyms, resulting in some conflation of the terms «modern art» and «contemporary art» by non-specialists.
