Kusama influenced contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. Kusama's work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism Comparison Impressionism From looking at an impressionism painting I can see that it took a lot of time and patience to create these art pieces. So I can see where a person comes from if they think that contemporary work is nothing to impressionism. These people believe that contemporary art shouldnt be called art because it does not require skill, creativity or talent. Contemporary Todays art has changed from what is has been before. Contemporary art has developed with the changes along with the times. However, some contemporary artists can do a technique of realism or another art form. In my opinion I see some contemporary artwork and I wouldn't understand it but for other people the artwork would mean something to them and they enjoy the artwork. Plus the artist may have put a lot of time and effort into their piece.
