Postmodern Art Koon's Tulips Postmodern art doesn't have a "canon" of important works in the way that Impressionism, Realism, or other movements do. In fact, Postmodern artists would most likely argue that identifying a canon of any type of art is useless because it would favor specific representations of reality as more "true" than others. Below are a few artists and works that have become part of the conversation about Postmodern art. Pick One off Postmodern art.

Your Initial Post: My Postmodern Art is Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary. Chris Ofili's The Holy Virgin Mary Chris Ofili explores his African roots in his controversial Holy Virgin Mary (1996), which has intrigued some audiences and angered others. New York's Mayor Rudy Giuliani described the Ofili painting as "sick," and while Hillary Clinton defended its display on grounds of freedom of expression, she called it "deeply offensive." For this painting, he draws on traditional pieces that feature Mary in blue. He also uses the traditional framing of Mary as a triangle that is raised off the ground to show her saintly nature. But Ofili wanted to juxtapose this concept of beauty with the African association of elephant dung with regeneration. Ofili says of his use of dung in his paintings: "I'm interested in ideas of beauty...And elephant dung in itself is quite a beautiful object. But a different sort of beauty. And I want to bring the kind of beauty and decorativeness of the paintings together with the apparent concept of ugliness of the shit and put them together and try and make them exist." 2 Answer these question in TWO papers paragraphs 1) Find an example of your final project theme in a Postmodern work from this week's module and Explain how you see this theme in the example you chose.
