Modern art has been developing in our country since the last century. This form of art consists of various elements, including the artist's mindset, emotions, and worldview. Some researchers note that “the expression of modern art's ideology is interrelated with the ideology of rock art. This is because the creators of rock art not only reflected the reality of phenomena but also expressed a spiritual abstraction and internal mindset through intuitive concepts, most of which have been preserved as points, lines, triangles, squares, circles, and symbols.” They have linked modern painting with ancient depictions, but it officially began to develop in Mongolia in 1960. Specifically, it originated from the first exhibition of young artists in 1968, and from 1980 onwards, modern and contemporary art began to develop freely.
