Perception in art represents the relation between the artwork and observing eye of the audience and how it affected his current state. It is the framework where we can link the art and the individual opinion about it. Perception depends mainly on the status if observation and evaluation of the art. There is not a universal perception that we could refer to, however, many variant parameters, including political, social, cultural, gender and racial. These parameters affect how we see art and what meanings we attribute to it, but is also an active factor in artistic creation. The vision of the artist and the observer shape together the understanding of the art in particular era, and the former is equally important as the latter. Thus, in the short

Perception and our opinions are closely linked. Focusing on the art itself, we can observer how the artistic criteria of art changed over time, that eventually link the audience, artist and critics roles in formulation the changing tides in art [1].
Modern art represents an evolving set of ideas among a number of painters, sculptors, writers, and performers who - both individually and collectively - sought new approaches to art making. Although modern art began, around 1850 with the arrival of
Realism, approaches and styles of art were defined and redefined throughout the 20th century. Practitioners of each new style were determined to develop a visual language that was both original and representative of the times.
In the early years of the 19th century, some European painters began to experiment with the simple act of observation. Artists from across the continent, including portraitists and genre painters such as Gustave Courbet and Henri Fantin-Latour, created works that aimed to portray people and situations objectively, imperfections and all, rather than creating an idealized rendition of the subject.

Kirchner (1880-1938) and Wassily Kandinsky (1866-
1944) respectively. The main contribution of expressionism to "modern art" was to popularize the idea of subjectivity in painting and sculpture, and to show that representational art may legitimately include subjective distortion.
When it comes to public opinion about art, we could find people mainly taking two sides. One of them thinks that it is a work of a genuis and the other thinks it is a poor work of a child with no meaning at all. Between the two extreems lie the gray spectrum who could not realy understand the concept beyond the modern art, so they cannot decide whether to like it or not. Many artist confessed that they may be like the work of a child but the difference is the ideas and expressions are selected and calculated unlike children.
