Breast cancer cells have vitamin D receptors, and when these receptors are activated by vitamin D, it triggers a series of molecular changes that can slow down cell growth, cause cells to die, and make the cancer less aggressive, she says.
This is not too surprising, since we are constantly moving forward in time, and what is considered modern painting or modern sculpture today, may not be seen as modern in fifty years time. Even so, it is traditional to say that Modern Art means works produced during the approximate period 1870-1970. This Modern era followed a long period of domination by Renaissance-inspired academic art, promoted by the network of European Academies of Fine Art. And is itself followed by Contemporary Art (1970 onwards), the more avant-garde of which is also called Postmodern Art.
Modern vs Contemporary Art. In art, modern and contemporary forms are largely interchangeable. People often use the term âmodernâ for describing some art form of recent times. Actually, this art form is considered contemporary. Modern and contemporary art are art forms of two different times. Modern art refers to the period that began in the 1880s and that lasted until the 1960s. Contemporary art can be said to be the art that was developed after the 1960s and is still emerging.
