in many cases, it is more politically correct to label art - regardless of the medium to avoid the discussion of having to "like" or "understand" it.
I was in Madrid a couple of years ago and there are 3 very large museums (Thyssen, Prado and one whose name escapes me) with all sorts of art - much of which was very similar to that which my children produced between the ages of 3 and 5. I guess my kids are post modern (definitely not minimalistic if I think about their allowances.......).
Ask 10 historians how to define modern and post modern - you'll get 10 definitions. In school, only the definition of your teacher/prof matters(they may let you change their minds-that will be a lot of work though)!
