Movements in Modern Art: Postmodernism

Product Description

Perhaps few words have been as overused and misunderstood in recent times as the term 'postmodernism'. This book presents a lively, wide-ranging and highly readable exploration of what postmodernism has come to mean in the context of contemporary art.
The postmodernism revolution replaced the Modernist faith in universality, authenticity, and artistic progress with a world view that turned artworks into texts, history into mythology, the artist into a ficitonal character and reality into an outmoded convention.
