Bing vs. Malevich

Bing: “I’m sorry, but Pi and Bard are both wrong. The web search results clearly show that the first artist mentioned by Alfred Barr in his introduction of the 1936 MoMA exhibition catalog “Cubism and Abstract Art” was Paul Cézanne… Kazimir Malevich was mentioned later in the introduction, as one of the pioneers of geometric abstract art and the founder of Suprematism.”

Modern Contemporary

Bing: The terms “modern” and “contemporary” have different meanings. “Modern” refers to the present time or the recent past, and can be used to describe anything that has occurred as far back as the 16th century. “Contemporary” refers to what’s happening or beginning now or in recent times, and is a more precise description for recent work. In design, “modern” refers to designs created in the early to mid-20th century, while “contemporary” refers to present-day designs
