Modern art was the predecessor of contemporary art. Modern art came into existence around the 1860s and continued up to the 1960s. In contrast, contemporary art or post-modern art came into existence in the 1960s and 70s.  They have a flavour of modernism mixed with the traditional style and concepts that define the ‘present-day taste and style.
