Postmodern Art
Basically postmodern thinking started in the Arts and Architecture. In the fourtiesArchitecture was still straightforward, lines and windows straight and
harmonious. From within the arts a contra movement came up. Borrowing from allsorts of styles from the past these elements could be brought together in a yet functional
way of building.
Post modern Art has its roots in the fifties and sixties, when artists created an enormousdiversity of alternative artforms: landart, environments, happenings , performances, body art, video art and finally computer art. Technology in Art is at least one aspect of Postmodernism.
American Pop Art , let's name the A.Warhol again, calling his studio factory, an idea greedily taken over right now by Daimian Hirst. (recently discussed in this theater).
In painting you see multitudes of borrowing and reworked subjects from all the stylistic periods, dipped in the artist personal dipping sauce.
Best thing is to Google Postmodern art / images and see for yourself how hollow the term really is.
Enjoy! Don't get lost!
The term Post modern can label whatever. As to philosophy, here personally I lost it completely , A Babylonian brabbling of
contradiction and obscurities. But it gives many people a job. it.
Still I am of
opinion that the real roots ly in the Dada movement of the interbellum period.This is rehashed art.
