Modern art is a technical term in art history. Maybe 20th century art? But even then I'll bet people can find something made in the 20th century they like. Maybe they'll have to give us more info about what they mean by "modern art".
Here are some example 21st century painters: https://medium.com/@John_Dalton/living-masters-the-top-13-re...
I know that. I’m arguing the term is dumb, since it waters down the natural meaning of words, making it harder to communicate effectively. Art historians should come up with a different, more specific term.
Art historians are the ones who invented the term. Arguably it's everyone else who has tried to redefine it into something else.
