Abstract Art
For it was Paris that Cubism originated and where abstract art has its modern roots. This was a movement which led to much more radical departures from the Western tradition of painting than even Kandinskys Expressionist colour chords.
Yet Cubism did not set out to abolish representation, only to reform it. The Feeling of uneasiness created by the brilliant messiness of Impressionist “snapshots” of fleeing sights, the longing for more order, structure and pattern that had animated the illustrators of Art Nouveau with their emphasis on “decorative” simplification no less than such masters as Seurat and Cezanne.
So, as the ideas grew out of expressionism and aimed at a kind of painting that would rival music in expressiveness. The interest in structure aroused by Cubism raised the question among painters in Paris, in Russia and soon also in Holland whether painting could not be turned into a kind of construction like architecture. The Dutchman, Piet Mondrian wanted to build up his pictures out of simplest elements: straight lines and pure colours. He longed for an art of clarity and discipline that somehow reflected the objective laws of the universe. For Mondrian, like Kandinsky and Klee, was something of a mystic and wanted his art to reveal immutable realties behind the ever-changing forms of subjective appearance.

The Difference Between Contemporary Paintings, Modern Art, & Abstract Paintings
So what's the difference? This is a basic question, and a little confusing to answer because the terms "contemporary," "modern," and "abstract" can be used interchangeably at times. Let us start with "modern art." Modern art is a classification of an art period that started around 1870 by Impressionists like Claude Monet. It is understood that modern artists are those who experimented with new ways of seeing, expressing new ideas and methods. But technically the modern art movement ended around the 1960's and 70's when the term "postmodern" started to be used and pop art became the new thing.
Abstract art is a style of painting a departure from reality and was definitely modern at the time. Abstraction in paintings started to make the scene right around the same time modern art became known because it is a painting style classified in the modern art movement. But full blown abstract paintings really started appearing early 1900's in Europe by the likes of Pablo Picasso and others in the cubism movement. Abstract art really was not created in America until the 1940's in the abstract expressionism movement with Jackson Pollock at the helm. Because abstract art is a style of painting and not a classification of an art period, abstract paintings are still being created today.
And that brings us to right now. Right now we use the term "contemporary" to define artwork as being created in our lifetime or in the current present moment. So any paintings being created right now are contemporary paintings no matter what the style. What has happened is that people generally use "contemporary art" to describe artwork from the 1970's until now. It is hard, if not near impossible to define a period while we are living in it. One might wonder, will we always use the word "contemporary" to describe the artwork being created in the present moment? Or will there be an end to the use of the word "contemporary" signifying an end of another artwork period very similarly to how "modern" was used. I don't know. But in any case, I hope this information has helped and not confused you even more.
