What on earth is postmodernism?
In: 13
In short, the term comes from the art scene originally. There was this art movement called modernism around 1900, which was kind of a rebellion against the then dominating art and architectural traditions. Modernists didn’t want a continuation of the same style, but create NEW things and a better world.
Postmodernism takes that to a whole new level. Art should not necessary be beautiful, it just has to provoke a reaction, whether positive or negative.
