20th Century
21st Century
American - Refers to the context of or associated specifically with the modern political entity of the United States of America.
Contemporary - Refers to painting, sculpture, graphic arts, and architecture dating from the recent past and present. It differs from modern art in that the term 'contemporary art' does not carry the implication of a non-traditional style, but instead refers only to the time period in which the work was created. 'Modern' and 'contemporary' are inherently fluid terms. The term 'contemporary' is sometimes more narrowly used to refer to art from ca. 1960 or 1970 up to the present.
hand-painted - Use especially to describe images painted manually, to distinguish them from images transferred mechanically, as on pottery, textiles, and other objects. For the manual adding of color to an existing image, use "hand coloring."
mixed media - Any combination of a variety of materials plus the associated techniques, used in the making of a single work of art. In printmaking, use when more than one technique, such as both etching and engraving, are used in one print. For the painting technique of laying oil paint glazes over tempera paint or tempera paint glazes over oil paint, use "mixed technique." For contemporary works that employ several distinct art forms, such as sculpture and music, use "multimedia works." For the concept that certain contemporary works merge known art forms to inaugurate a new type, use "intermedia."
paintings (visual works) - Unique works in which images are formed primarily by the direct application of pigments suspended in oil, water, egg yolk, molten wax, or other liquid, arranged in masses of color, onto a generally two-dimensional surface.
textiles - Refers collectively to items made of textile materials. For the general category of these materials, see .
