Art is often controversial because of the subject matter. Artists often choose subjects that are taboo in ordinary social situations. This could be as simple as depicting a nude image of a human being or as complicated as addressing a moral issue like abortion or a political issue like war.

Impressionist art was criticized by art critics because of Claude Monet's Sunrise in which the critics said it was "an impression of a sunrise" since the painting reflects thick brush strokes and blurry not veristic scenery. Impressionist art went out of the norms of the french school of art because the paintings were about ordinary life and showed blurry sceneries.

Modern art was heavily criticized for its departure from more classical methods. Modern art often uses abstract principles, including more creative, free-form options.
