The book focuses on interrogating the idea of \"modern\" art by asking such questions as: What makes a work of art qualify as modern, or fail to? How has this selection been made? What is the relationship between modern and contemporary art? Is \"postmodernist\" art no longer modern, or just no longer modernist? In either case, why--and what does this claim mean, both for art and the idea of \"the modern?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCottingham examines many key aspects of this subject, including the issue of controversy in modern art, from Manet's \u003cem\u003eDejeuner sur L'Herbe\u003c\/em\u003e (1863) to Picasso's \u003cem\u003eLes Demoiselles\u003c\/em\u003e, and Tracey Emin's \u003cem\u003eBed\u003c\/em\u003e (1999).
