Sample Answer
Modern art diverges from traditional art primarily in its intent, methods, and the philosophies that underpin its creation. While traditional art often adheres to established techniques and represents recognizable subjects—such as landscapes or portraits—modern art often seeks to challenge perceptions and provoke thought through abstraction and unconventional practices. For instance, Marcel Duchamp’s "Fountain," an ordinary urinal displayed in an art gallery, exemplifies this shift; it prompts viewers to reconsider the very definition of art itself. Additionally, modern art frequently embraces technology and media, incorporating elements like digital installations or performance art, thus reflecting contemporary societal issues. This evolution highlights a transition towards inclusivity and subjectivity, allowing for personal interpretation and emotional engagement rather than merely aesthetic appreciation.
