MODERNISM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modernism in ART is defined as “a global movement in society and culture that from the early decades of the twentieth century sought a new alignment with the experience and values of modern industrial life. Building on late nineteenth-century precedents, artists around the world used new imagery, materials and techniques to create artworks that they felt better reflected the realities and hopes of modern societies.” Tate<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

POSTMODERNISM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Postmodernism can be seen as a reaction against the ideas and values of modernism, as well as a description of the period that followed modernism’s dominance in cultural theory and practice in the early and middle decades of the twentieth century. The term is associated with scepticism, irony and philosophical critiques of the concepts of universal truths and objective reality.” Tate<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postmodernism in Art History<\/strong>
Postmodernism is a broad movement that emerged in the mid-to-late 20th century as a reaction against the ideas and values of modernism. It is characterized by skepticism toward grand narratives, objective truths, and universalist ideas promoted by modernist art and culture. In art, postmodernism embraces ambiguity, diversity, and contradiction, often rejecting the notion of progress or purity in artistic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
