Modern Art is a term to depict the art of XX century and onwards. It represents the opposite to traditional art, and it is mostly an aesthetic concept. The end of it would be the postmodernism, where it is impossible to create anything original, only reinterpretations. There are many movements, and the production is so wide that it is impossible to know all.
