Postmodernism is a broad term used to describe movements across various fields such as art, philosophy, culture, and music. There is no single definition, as it questions established knowledge and beliefs. Postmodernists like to challenge audiences and societal norms. The term was first used in the 1870s in relation to painting styles, and was later applied to changes in religion and new forms of art and music that rejected modern architecture. Jean-Francois Lyotard analyzed postmodernity's impact on identity and culture, arguing that television has altered people's attention spans and consumerism now defines identity. Postmodern art blends high and low forms, historical styles with modern elements like fashion in a way that rejects boundaries.
Modernism and Postmodernism are two cultural movements that show differences. Modernism occurred between the 1860s-1940s and valued original works and logical thinking. Postmodernism began after 1968 and questioned modernism, believing thinking was irrational and there was no absolute truth. It favored applied art over original works and used digital media.
Pop art emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and late 1950s in the US as a challenge to traditions of fine art by including popular culture imagery like advertising. Pop art employs aspects of mass culture and is interpreted as a reaction to abstract expressionism, using irony to depict banal or kitschy cultural elements through found objects and images. It is considered one of the earliest examples of postmodern art.
Modernism started in the 19th century as a reaction against religious, political, and social views of the time. It was influenced by wars like World War 1 and World War 2 and innovations in fields like philosophy and anthropology. Modernism affected society by changing perceptions of truth and reality and how people viewed artists and creativity. It was a dominant artistic movement between 1900 and 1940.
Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a departure from modernism in various art forms and intellectual movements. It was first used to describe new forms of art and music in the 1920s, and then expanded to describe dissatisfaction with modern architecture in the 1940s and new approaches in literature, philosophy, and culture starting in the late 1960s. Postmodernism rejects the idea of a single objective viewpoint and is characterized by critical examination of Western culture and ideas around concepts like love, marriage, and history. It grew out of and is closely related to post-structuralism, challenging structuralism and modernist ideas through new ways of analyzing culture and society.
The document discusses a critique by Horkheimer and Adorno of mass-produced cultural products under capitalism. They argue that entertainment aims to appeal to vast audiences, replacing high art and low art without fulfilling their roles. Horkheimer and Adorno compare Fascist Germany and the American film industry, highlighting mass-produced, passive culture created by exclusive institutions in both systems. This illustrates modern society's logic of domination by monopoly capitalism or the nation state. They argue that attempts to realize Enlightenment values of reason and order undermine the individual's wholistic power.
Postmodernism departs from modernism in the arts and is characterized by mixing different styles and distrust of theories, whereas modernism aims to depart from classical forms. Some key differences include postmodernism subverting order and centralized control while modernism emphasizes hierarchy and determinism. Additionally, postmodernism sees a skepticism of technological progress and mixing of organic and inorganic elements, whereas modernism kept a clear divide between human and machine.

This document discusses modernism and postmodernism in literature. It provides definitions of both terms and notes that modernism occurred between the 1860s-1940s, emphasizing individual experience and rejecting tradition. Postmodernism emerged after 1960 and is more complex, characterized by mixing styles and media without absolute truths. Thinking became more irrational and texts were questioned rather than learning from the past.
The document discusses controversial art and its importance in developing new artistic ideas, raising awareness of global issues, and fighting for civil liberties. It presents examples of artists like Picasso, Ai Weiwei, and Pussy Riot who used controversial works to critique politics, censorship, and social issues. While some argue controversial art cheapens aesthetics or is just shock value, the document asserts it can start important discussions and transcend boundaries. It concludes that controversial art is a platform for change but the intentions of the artist must be considered.
Modernity arose in the 19th century in response to industrialization, urbanization, and new attitudes among artists; it was characterized by new styles of painting, universal access to art, and changing social classes. As cities and consumerism grew, new artistic movements developed that rejected realism and embraced new subject matters and styles, making art more accessible through museums, lithography, and photography. Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a rejection of modernism's focus on rationality and function in favor of pluralism and mixing of styles and cultures in response to a capitalist and mass consumer society.
This document provides information about modernism and postmodernism. It discusses how modernism emerged in the late 19th century during the second industrial revolution and was focused on improving aspects of life through science and technology. Postmodernism emerged after World War II and rejected central hierarchies and universal theories, instead embracing complexity and diversity. Some examples of modernist works included Ulysses by James Joyce and The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot, while postmodernist works included Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. The document concludes that modernism qualified endorsed Enlightenment ideals, while postmodernism unequivocally denounced them.

The document also examines how controversial art continues to be a platform for political and social commentary, as seen in the works of Ai Weiwei, Pussy Riot, and Ti-Rock Moore. While some view controversial art as irrelevant in today's world, the document argues it still plays a vital role in innovation, self-expression, and sparking important discussions.
This document provides context and analysis for an exhibition featuring works that represent and critique mass culture. It includes an overview of the exhibition layout, a statement of intent explaining the curator's goals in selecting works that push boundaries and prompt discussion, and analyses of individual works by artists such as Martin Parr, Carrie Mae Weems, Katherine Sullivan, and Liu Bolin. The works use humor, irony and aesthetics to comment on topics like leisure activities, racial stereotypes, religious politics, and media influence in ways that encourage social examination rather than personal offense.
In the 1940s, surrealist artists fled to New York City where abstract expressionism developed as the dominant avant-garde movement, influenced by surrealism and existentialism. This diminished figuration and emphasized pure expression and the flatness of the canvas. Meanwhile in Europe, art informel emerged as the equivalent to abstract expressionism. By the 1950s, pop art began as a critique of modernism by embracing popular culture, while minimalism stripped art down to basic materials and forms.
This document provides an overview of postmodernism in English literature. It begins by discussing how postmodernism emerged in the mid-1980s as an area of academic study and is difficult to define as it appears across many disciplines. It then compares postmodernism to modernism, noting they both reject boundaries between high and low art forms and emphasize fragmentation. However, postmodernism differs in that it celebrates rather than laments fragmentation. The document also discusses key characteristics of postmodern literature and how it represents a break from 19th century realism similar to modernism but with a greater emphasis on parody and questioning distinctions between genres.
This document provides an overview of modernism and introduces some key concepts related to modernity. It discusses how modernism emerged from the late 19th century with the rise of industrialization, capitalism, secularization, and urbanization. Modernism rejected tradition and was inspired by science and technology. The document introduces ideas from Frederick Taylor on scientific management and Henry Ford on assembly line production. It provides some examples of modernist art and film. The document then begins to introduce postmodernism and some differences from modernism, such as a shift to new information technologies and globalization.
Modernism emerged in the late 19th century as a rejection of traditional forms of art, literature, and social organization that were viewed as outdated in the new industrialized world. It grew out of earlier movements like Romanticism, Realism, and Aestheticism that emphasized individualism and subjective experience over established rules and conventions. Modernist artists and thinkers believed the modern industrial environment should inspire new forms of creative expression. While Modernism was originally a European phenomenon, it gained widespread prominence and was heavily promoted internationally by the United States in the mid-20th century.
Modernism refers to a revolutionary cultural movement that began around 1900 across multiple fields including philosophy, art, music, dance, literature, and architecture. The word "modern" derives from the Latin word "modo" meaning "in a certain manner" and has undergone changes in definition over the past four centuries. Modern can now refer to things relating to recent or present times, characteristic of recent times, or developed using advanced styles or technologies. In linguistics, "modern" describes current living languages.

The End of Modernity: 1960s art and cultureDeborahJ
Postmodernism emerged in the 1960s as an artistic movement that questioned the principles of modernism, such as formalism and the separation of art from everyday life. It developed in response to broader social changes and critiques of the ideals of progress and objective truth that defined the modern era. Postmodernism rejects the notion of artistic purity and universal values, incorporating popular culture and questioning definitions of art. It is a complex term that is still being defined, with no consensus on its meaning or implications.
Post-modernism developed in the mid to late 20th century as a radical movement that criticized modernism and celebrated new styles over traditional ones. It questions the idea of underlying truths and sees culture as diverse and fragmented with no single theory that can fully explain it. Post-modernism focuses on surface appearances and styles rather than hidden meanings, depths, or structures. Theorists argue we now live in a world of media simulations where reality and the simulated experience have become blurred and indistinguishable.
difference between modernism and Postmodernism Sneha Agravat
1. Modernism flourished in the early 20th century and advocated rational thinking, while postmodernism emerged after World War II and believed in irrationality.
2. Modernism focused on interiority and the writer, used idiosyncratic language, and rejected realism, whereas postmodernism focused on exteriority and the reader, used parody and pastiche, and had an ambivalent stance toward realism.

The document discusses the function of art in modernism. It defines modernism as a literary and artistic movement that began in the late 19th century and departed from traditional forms. Modernism was a response to the upheaval of industrialization and World War I. For modern artists, art had real value and purpose rather than just serving religion, morality or social conventions. Modernist art focused on the work itself and intellectualism over vulgarity. It also used new materials, techniques, and expressive uses of color. While modernism questioned traditional beliefs and values, its legacy lives on in how it expanded concepts of experience and awareness through art.
Postmodernism first emerged in the 1870s as a rejection of French influences and a move towards new styles of art, architecture, music, and literature. Postmodernist ideas hold that anything can be considered art if it reaches an audience, and that no single work is more valuable than another. Postmodernism in media promotes reinvention of personal identities and insecurities about physical appearance. Lady Gaga is an example of an artist who embodies postmodernist ideals.

Modernism : it is a philosophical development that, alongside social patterns and changes,
emerged from wide-scale and expansive changes in Western culture amid the late nineteenth and
mid twentieth hundreds of years. Among the elements that formed innovation were the
improvement of present day modern social orders and the quick development of urban areas,
took after then by responses of ghastliness to World War I. Innovation additionally dismisses the
conviction of Enlightenment considering, and numerous pioneers rejected religious conviction.
An eminent normal for innovation is reluctance and incongruity concerning scholarly and social
conventions, which regularly prompted to explores different avenues regarding structure,
alongside the utilization of methods that attracted consideration regarding the procedures and
materials utilized as a part of making a canvas, ballad, building, and so on.
modernism unequivocally dismisses the philosophy of authenticity and makes utilization of the
works of the past by the work of repeat, joining, modifying, reiteration, update and farce. Present
day specialists explored different avenues regarding better approaches for seeing and with crisp
thoughts regarding the way of materials and elements of workmanship. An inclination far from
the account, which was trademark for the customary expressions, toward deliberation is normal
for much present day craftsmanship. Later imaginative generation is frequently called
contemporary craftsmanship or postmodern workmanship..

ESSAY
People use the term “modern” in a variety of ways, often very loosely, with a lot of implied associations of new, contemporary, up-to-date, and technological. We know the difference between a modern society and one that remains tied to the past and it usually has less to do with art and more to do with technology and industrial progress, things like indoor plumbing, easy access to consumer goods, freedom of expression, and voting rights. In the 19th century, however, modernity and its connection with art had certain specific associations that people began recognizing and using as barometers to distinguish themselves and their culture from earlier nineteenth century ways and attitudes.
Chronologically, Modernism refers to the period from 1850 to 1960. It begins with the Realist movement and ends with Abstract Expressionism. That’s just a little over one hundred years. During that period the western world experienced some significant changes that transformed Europe and the United States from traditional societies that were agriculturally based into modern ones with cities and factories and mass transportation.
Here are some important features that all modern societies share.
Capitalism
Capitalism replaced landed fortunes and became the economic system of modernity in which people exchanged labor for a fixed wage and used their wages to buy ever more consumer items rather than produce such items themselves. This economic change dramatically affected class relations because it offered opportunities for great wealth through individual initiative, industrialization and technology—somewhat like the technological and dot.com explosion of the late 20th and early 21st century. The industrial revolution which began in England in the late 18th century and rapidly swept across Europe (hit the U.S. immediately following the Civil War) transformed economic and social relationships, offered an ever increasing number of cheaper consumer goods, and changed notions of education. Who needed the classics when a commercial/technically oriented education was the key to financial success? The industrial revolution also fostered a sense of competition and progress that continues to influence us today.
Urban culture
Urban culture replaced agrarian culture as industrialization and cities grew. Cities were the sites of new wealth and opportunity with their factories and manufacturing potential..
The document discusses the history and key concepts of postmodernism. It provides examples of how postmodernism influenced fashion design, particularly the works of designer Hussein Chalayan. Chalayan's collections from 1993 to 2000 demonstrated postmodernist themes through experimental uses of materials and questioning of social norms. His "Burka" collection from 1998 subverted expectations of modesty in Muslim dress, while "Before Minus Now" in 2000 incorporated new technologies into innovative garment shapes and forms. In summarizing Chalayan's works, the document examines how postmodernist fashion design embraces pluralism and individuality through non-traditional approaches.
Postmodernism emerged in reaction to modernism and lacks a clear definition or origin. It encompasses developments in many fields starting in the 1940s and peaking in the 1960s-1970s. Postmodernism rejects rationality and objectivity in favor of opinion and relative morality. It is characterized by embracing the absurdity of life, losing faith in authority, and feeling alienated from society. Postmodernism deliberately mixes styles while modernism rejected conventions. Some criticisms are that postmodernism is too narrow, subordinates truth to identity, is divisive, lacks self-criticism, and has no foundation.
Postmodernism emerged in the 1980s as a reaction against modernism and its ideas of logic, objectivity, and rationality. Postmodernism rejects the idea of grand narratives or objective truths about society and history, arguing that all perspectives are influenced by factors like gender and class. It is a theoretical approach in geography that questions authoritative definitions and blurs distinctions between high and popular culture.
This document provides an introduction to Modernism in art.
