Modern Art

Enjoy a visit to MoMA and see masterworks from the museum's collection of modern and contemporary art. What do the superstars of modern art—van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Pollock, and Warhol—have in common with the Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle and an Apple iPod? All share the stage at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Here the two big questions are: What makes it modern AND what makes it art? MoMA's scholars, along with David Rockefeller (son of MoMA founder Abby Rockefeller), prove that the modern art of any age is not the newest; it's the next.

Is jazz still a modern art? It's a hundred years old, after all, and some performers and fans seem to ignore everything written after 1940. But as far as the work of Claire Martin is concerned the question has only one answer. Apart from being one of the finest singers on the current scene, Martin is constantly searching for new writers and new ways to interpret them, ensuring that her own approach to music stays resolutely in the present. A Modern Art, her thirteenth album, is an eclectic recording that showcases her talents and those of a superb collection of backing musicians-it's possibly the best album of her career to date, which is saying something.
