This document discusses postmodern architecture and its relationship to modernism. It provides background on the emergence of postmodernism in the 1960s as a reaction against modern architecture. Postmodernism incorporated historical details and ornamentation rather than strict modernist styles.

Art and architecture are getting divorced despite the fact, there exists thin line to differentiate between art and architecture. If Art is labelled as,’ expression of human creative skill/imagination in visual form, Architecture ,is defined as art and science of creating buildings based on utility ,strength and beauty. If a great piece of art is an object of joy and pleasure, a well designed and constructed building brings joy and happiness for the owner, community and user .As a creative science Art has leveraged architecture in numerous ways giving architecture a new theme, meaning and vocabulary. Chandigarh, a role model in the field of architecture and urban planning, designed by Mon Le-Corbusier and his team of great architects, have made extensive use of art as integral part of the designing various buildings including buildings in Capitol Complex, High Court, Assembly, College of Art and Architecture etc to promote their aesthetics and beauty. If architecture is called the body, art rightly assumes the role of soul. Majority of problems facing the profession of architecture has genesis in growing mismatch between art and architecture. The existing ideology of architectural education and practice needs to be, revisited

Cultures
“Getting” Contemporary Art
It’s ironic that many people say they don’t “get” contemporary art because, unlike Egyptian tomb
painting or Greek sculpture, art made since 1960 reflects our own recent past. It speaks to the
dramatic social, political and technological changes of the last 50 years, and it questions many of
society’s values and assumptions—a tendency of postmodernism, a concept sometimes used to
describe contemporary art. What makes today’s art especially challenging is that, like the world
around us, it has become more diverse and cannot be easily defined through a list of visual
characteristics, artistic themes or cultural concerns.
Minimalism and Pop Art paved the way for later artists to explore questions about the conceptual
nature of art, its form, its production, and its ability to communicate in different ways. In the late
1960s and 1970s, these ideas led to a “dematerialization of art,” when artists turned away from
painting and sculpture to experiment with new formats including photography, film and video,
performance art, large-scale installations and earth works. Although some critics of the time
foretold “the death of painting,” art today encompasses a broad range of traditional and
experimental media, including works that rely on Internet technology and other scientific
innovations.

Introduction to Art Chapter 31: Postmodernity and Global Cultures 449
Contemporary artists continue to use a varied vocabulary of abstract and representational forms
to convey their ideas. It is important to remember that the art of our time did not develop in a
vacuum; rather, it reflects the social and political concerns of its cultural context. For example,
artists like Judy Chicago, who were inspired by the feminist movement of the early 1970s,
embraced imagery and art forms that had historical connections to women.
In the 1980s, artists appropriated the style and methods of mass media advertising to investigate
issues of cultural authority and identity politics. More recently, artists like Maya Lin, who
designed the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., and Richard Serra, who was
loosely associated with Minimalism in the 1960s, have adapted characteristics of Minimalist art
to create new abstract sculptures that encourage more personal interaction and emotional
response among viewers.
These shifting strategies to engage the viewer show how contemporary art’s significance exists
beyond the object itself. Its meaning develops from cultural discourse, interpretation and a range
of individual understandings, in addition to the formal and conceptual problems that first
motivated the artist ...
