When I think of more current art, the first artist that comes to mind is Andy Warhol. He is known for helping to lead the way into the visual art movement and is probably most famously known for painting the Campbell's Soup can. A lot of his art shows a play on color, as seen in this work of Marilyn Monroe.
Just as the name suggests, visual art is art that are visual in nature. Basically, when the viewer looks at it, he/she is able to detect what it is/is about, as opposed to abstract art. Most, if not all, of Worhol's art is guided by this nature. What made Warhol stand out was his play on color. Naturally, a straightforward drawing of a can of soup would not appeal to society. It is Worhol's attention to detail and his unique use of panels of different colors that separated him from the rest of the visual artists. Also, most modern art plays on the ideals of abstract art and freedom of thought. Worhol's art is very straightforward. Due to its popularity, one can say that it is more appealing the the public as a whole.
