I think this first paragraph has some problems:
"MOST of the artistic production" ? -- is not an accurate statement. Perhaps it could be changed to "most of what is now recognized as canonical"
Did Impressionist painters "represent a subject less realistically" than earlier painters like Velasquez, Delacroix, Tiepolo etc ? Did they, or their supporters, ever claim that they did ?
And if "photography had made this function of art obsolete" - then why have some of the highest paid artists of the 20th (and 21st) century been portrait painters ?
But more often than not -- not moving further toward abstraction. Abstraction is only one of many strategies used in this period.-- Mountshang 15:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I kind of agree that the photography/art distnction is overly simplistic. But I am assuming a general readership, and this is a good place to start. I have rephrased the sentence to make it less emphatic, but have kept the original sense.-- Ethicoaestheticist 21:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Surely modern art refers to the use of modern techniques such as acrylic paint, video, installation etc. What I think is meant by "Modern art" here is "Modernist art".

Part I - The section labelled as 'criticism' is completely subjective garbage! e.g. the opening sentence: "Modern art is often viewed as a degenerate form of art by antimodernists as it requires relativley no skill, thought or research to produce." - subjective rubbish, with no basis in fact! (which is the point of Wikipedia, no?)
Part II - IMHO there really *needs* to be an image or an explicit reference to Pablo Picasso's painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), it comes up repeatedly in nearly everything I have ever read/seen about modern art as one of the paradigm shifts into this era of art. - I would change/add it, but this is my first visit (as a potential editor) and I am still learning the correct techniques for editing articles. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

It has been a while now, and I'm glad to see someone has edited out the 'criticism' section. regarding 'Hgilbert's previous comment, I was not questioning Casols' level of eminence, rather the inclusion of any work of art from 2004... as that is a LONG time after the academically accepted definitions of the period that defines 'modern art' to my knowledge. (A minimum of at least 30 years). The opening sentence of the page, IMHO needs to be adressed, 'modern art' from as early as the 17C?! I have never read/seen/heard any such broad definition of 'modern art'. There may be somewhat differing dates as to when exactly the period encompasses, but if you truly understand the defintion of 'modern art'; the dates are almost always regarded as starting sometime in the late 19th century (sometimes the very, very early 20th century), and lasting until some time in the third quarter of the 20th century. Anyone else have an opinion on changing this, please? Sam.B ( talk) 11:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
The refimrove template at the head of the page would seem to obviate the need for a verication tag cluttering nearly every sentence—even a sentence asserting that there's more video art in galleries today than there was in the immediate post-WWII years. This article could be better sourced, and will be. But given the length of time the tags have been in place, and given the difficulty of finding retrospective sources that fully support some of the lines that were tagged here, it seems better to move them to the talk page until they can be replaced with fresh material properly sourced. The controversial lines deleted stated:
The lede as it now stands is inferior to the earlier version (although of course reliable sources to fully support the definition were lacking). That the term "Modern art" is usually understood to describe 20th century & sometimes also late 19th century art goes without saying--and is therefore rarely said, hence the surprising difficulty in locating it through secondary sources. It's like trying to source "Buster Keaton never walked on the moon": you can easily find a good source for a list of those who have walked on the moon, and note that his name is absent, but that's original research. Google hits for the term "moden art" or such phrases as "meant by modern art" make clear that the term is popularly understood to mean contemporary and 20th century art; it rarely extends back to Jan Steen or Hyacinthe Rigaud. My own perusal of books & articles at hand suggests that this term as used by art historians describes 19th-20th c developments in almost every instance. Online, Encarta supports the prevalent usage here but is not the ideal authority to cite. I hope to resolve this matter with a library visit next week. On the other hand, the 6 remaining sources cited for the "17th century onward" definition lack page numbers, and need a closer look. For instance, Dempsey writes of "vocabulary used to define modern art - from Impressionism to Installation, from the Nabis to Neo-Expressionism" and surveys no art predating Impressionism.

This article offers something like a simulacrum of meaning. It presents some vague notions of what modern art might be, which is valuable, and I don't at all object to suggestions that it traces back to Kant or the Enlightenment (but why not also Hegel?), but there are no guiding principles here other than throwing tradition to the winds and and engaging in "experimentation," thus giving short shrift indeed to the ideas animating these experiments. (The article on postmodern art is much more conceptually sophisticated.) It all seems so very cut and dried: potted history. There is little sense of the relationship between the visual arts (here, almost exclusively painting) and literary modernism, or architecture, except somehow a hint of the latter shows up in the lists. As usual, the lists of movements and the names included are subject to some kind of nationalist and probably personal tampering, with the insertion of names and indeed of forms of art that hardly have much purchase in the art world or among art historians. And where is the great Mexican Muralist movement? Where is the vitalism of, say, Matta Echaurren? Also as usual, female participants are given short shrift (I've added one or two). Where does Conceptualism fit? Is it postmodern? How about feminist art? .... Actio ( talk) 14:45, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

It was only after World War II, though, that the U.S. became the focal point of new artistic movements. citation needed The 1950s and 1960s saw the emergence of Abstract Expressionism, Color field painting, Pop art, Op art, Hard-edge painting, Minimal art, Lyrical Abstraction, Postminimalism, Photorealism and various other movements.

With regard to where in the list to place Georgia O'Keeffe (GOK): she was indeed active before WW1: already 18 years old in 1905,
As the U.S. didn't enter the war until 1918, and as GOK was already an established artist by then, she should be included in the pre-WW1 group. Her ouevre for this pre-war period is scant but it nonetheless exists. We should perhaps not measure who should be included in which time-period by the mere volume of their output at a particular time as we may not be accurately representing who was actually working at a given time. Instead, we should defer to established references and biographers with regard to where someone belongs in the larger picture of time. In GOK's case, she was active and working before WWI, her work is most prodigious after this period but her style during her most prodigious period is informed by this earlier period, especially during 1915 in South Carolina.

Why is "sculpture" a category under "Art Movements and artist groups"?

Also, "sculpture" is hardly specific to modern art. Shouldn't each of the artists listed under "sculpture" be categorized by some other group- or movement-affiliation? Picasso was a cubist and whatknot...not just a "sculptor".

In the "History of Art" sidebar, modern art is preceded by medieval art. This makes sense if modern art is the art produced during the modern era. However, in the introduction it is stated that modern art is a period starting at about the 1860s. This leaves a gap between 1500 and 1860 which is not covered as period in art history in Wikipedia. In my opinion, this stems from confusing an artistic movement with a period.
