A short introduction and contemporary art
Today, i'm living and working in Normandy (Orne). I can assert i'm not yet dead for more than 70 years. So, by the fact : i am fully a "contemporary artist". And my painting is totally "contemporary art".
This first remark is justified, the true definition of "contemporary art" being : An art produced by a living artist - or dead for less than 70 years (roughly, the period after World War II).
Art marketing has managed to make our mind associate this qualification "contemporary art" with : installations, performances, photo, video, land art, street art. To sum up all these in one pedantic word, as meaningless as Monsieur Jourdain's prose: conceptual.
So, everything has been done to exclude painting - and painters - from this definition.
