It attempts to show the ability of art to constantly reinvent itself to reflect the changing worldviews. The chronological perspective examines the factors behind transformation of art from traditional art to modern art to post-modern or contemporary art. The thematic perspectives are concerned with changes in depiction of society, sex, the artist's psyche and the power of money in art. It examines the historic controversies in western art and impact of other cultures on Indian art. It also explores the link between art and spirituality, draws parallels between modern art and modern physics. It deals with some serious issues like the impact of art on society and the significance of modern art in particular—whether it represents progress or is a kind of hoax.0.
