Modern and modernism are different things. Modernism is the name for a movement in the arts and novels of visual arts that fit into the category of modernism are called modern. It no longer has any bearing on how old they are. The idea of modern life or the modern era IS relative to where we are at in history and will presumably continue to mean the present.
