PART TWO
Modernism vs. Postmodernism
Hide Description
This week we have moved firmly into the era of postmodernism, which extends from the 1970s until some time in the 1990s. (Hard to get a scholarly perspective on recent historical periodization!) I think a key challenge for scholars, artists, and viewers is to sum up a single big difference between modernism and postmodernism.
A practical way to do it--though obviously simplifying the intellectual problem--is to isolate paradigm artworks. In other words, pick a "modernist" artwork and "postmodernist" artwork and explain how they embody the two big stylistic epochs.
Draw upon the textbook, lectures, favorite web resources, or other classes to write your response. It can be helpful to imagine you were teaching a friend or family member and had to give them a starting place.
