Modern art refers to art produced from the late 19th century and early 20th century, around 1890, to the mid-20th century, around 1970.

The year 1968 was marked by social and political events that affected the artistic world, a period known for its anti-authoritarianism, such as the assassination of President Kennedy, the assassination of Martin Luther King, the Tet Offensive and the European Revolution, which resulted in demonstrations in all European capitals. Art had to participate in this great transformation of the world.
