Contemporary Photography
Contemporary art is the art of today, produced in the second half of the 20th century or in the 21st century.

Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform, organising principle, ideology, or " -ism". Contemporary art is part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.

Scope Some define contemporary art as art produced within "our lifetime," recognising that lifetimes a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Some of his most famous photographs were taken of the trees and rocks at Point Lobos, California, near where he lived for many years. Weston was born in Chicago and moved to California when he ...
