What is the contemporary art?

There are different types of art that allow us to go to the past and experience through our senses what life was like before, what artists thought and felt in complex situations such as wars or consumerism. What does the art of the current era tell us?

Contemporary art is the set of artistic manifestations that emerge from the 20th century onwards. The concept of this type of art is quite relative depending on the time, that is, the art that is created in any period will always be contemporary for those that coexist in time with the works. For example, for those who lived in the 16th century, da Vinci's art was contemporary.
