Wikipedia
Contemporaries are persons, events, or movements that overlapped in time. For example, that William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe were born in the same year and wrote at the same time; thus they were ''contemporaries''.''Contemporary'' as an adjective usually means ''pertaining to the period of time being considered''. Thus, to judge Thomas Jefferson by "contemporary standards" is to judge him by the standards of his own time.However, the word has a host of other meanings. Perhaps confusingly, it often means pertaining to ''our'' time—the time during which the word is used. In some contexts it is a synonym for Modernism, even if the artists or composers in question have been dead for some decades. In other contexts it means the host of influences, events and questions which are still being actively debated. Many people regard the present as being Postmodern, and part of the Information Age, while others see it as being in the Modern period, with post-modernity being a reaction against the general modern trend. ''Contemporary'' often also means fashionable, or that which is based on present tastes and demographics. In this context it often refers to the most recent styles and furnishings.See contemporary music, contemporary art, contemporary literature, contemporary philosophy and any article protected for being !controversial.de:Zeitgenosse

art and diamond are forever
In her work, Iv Toshain creates a platform for her fascination with globally relevant topics like natural romanticism, mankind, sentimentality, the ancient image of a better life. Nature and landscape resurface as a metaphor and as a screen for projection. Past visions of the future. Encountering impressions of another world. One needs to regard Toshain’s pictures from a different perspective they also reminds us we are not living in a fantasy world. A world that is not only idyllic but is also fractured. There is much good to find , but it carries evil in its wake. The break in modern art between the world and the individual, between fantasy and reality.
