Contemporary Art focuses on feeling of the viewer

[edit]

Hello, I am new to Wikipedia editing. I would like to write that contemporary art no matter what form has an intention to stimulate an emotional response/ feeling from the observer.

I would be hesitant to cite such a claim to a neuroscientist. Many artists work for vastly different goals; it is not unreasonable that that claim might be true, but I would like to see a source for it from within the art world. And even then, I would probably suggest an WP:INTEXT attribution for the claim.  HTGS (talk) 04:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

I have added this because the article text seems to cover only "Western art" - Europe & Nth America. We have loads of material on the rest of the world, such as is in Category:Asian contemporary art, Category:Chinese contemporary art, Category:South American contemporary art and so on.

Yes- it would be great to add some things about the markets and movements of global contemporary art, especially when that is a central discourse in Contemporary Art. I will try to return to this page in the future with some edits. Hegemoniconline (talk) 09:41, 10 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
