LACMA Modern Art Visit Observations

Contemporary Art - Art that is concurrent with the modern art from the 1960s to the present. It is usually avant-garde and is not as conservative or traditional as art from before the 1960s. A notable part of contemporary art is post-modernism.

Does Contemporary Art have specific boundaries? If so, what are they?

In postmodernism art, tradition has been displaced by liberalism and increased freedom of thought in general. Many modern movements and such have encouraged such liberal thinking. As exemplified by artists such as Jackson Pollock. There really is no limit to what you can do nowadays, from blobs of paint to abstract lines and shapes. Even the simplest subjects can be manipulated into magnificent and otherwordly pieces.
