Postmodernism is a late 20th century movement that departed from modernism, including culture, literature, art, philosophy and other fields. It reacted against tendencies in modernism and is typically marked by a revival of historical elements and techniques. Postmodernism questions absolute truth, views truth and error as the same, and sees traditional authority as false and corrupt while morality is personal. It is increasingly an art of symbolism and gesture alone.
