Post-modernism and modernism
Postmodernism is a reaction to modernism. Modernism is generally based on utopian idealism and vision of life and human society and ongoing beliefs. It is assumed that the highest universal principle or truth or truth as formulated by religion or science can be used to understand or explain reality. Modernist artists experiment with shapes, techniques, and processes rather than focusing on subjects, believe that they can find pure ways to reflect the modern world.
While modernism is based on idealism and reason, postmodernism is born from skepticism and suspicion of reason. It challenges the idea that there is certainty or universal truth. Postmodern art utilizes the philosophy of the 20th century in the middle to the end, and recommends that individual experiences and interpretation of our experiences are more concrete than abstract principles. While modernists fight for clarity and simplicity; Postmodernism adheres to a complex and frequent conflicting layer of meaning.
