Modern art is a general term used for most of the artistic work reckoned anywhere from the early 17th century until the present time.

Way off. The vast majority of formalist art historians would classify "Modern" as starting with Manet and other Post-Impressionists. Social art historians, with whom I disagree, would start with early French Realism.
The end of Modernism is not clear. Jackson Pollock's work (which in relevant part is from the late 40's through the early 60's) has both Modern and Post-Modern components. The same goes for Pop Art, which doesn't fit neatly into either category.

I've heard some art historians say that modernism began with Giotto's frescos. Others have pointed to Bruneleschi's doors.

Regardless, I think we can all agree that post-modernism is one of the dumbest terms in the English language. :\

Dumb because it becomes cumbersome to make up terms for movements after it? Or dumb because it is incredibly imprecise?
