After reading the Wikipedia article about postmodern art, I found a lot of things interesting about the movement. As stated in wikipedia, postmodern art is “a term used to describe an art movement which was thought to be in contradiction to some aspect of modernism, or to have emerged or developed in its aftermath.” Types of postmodern art include intermedia, installation art, and conceptual art. Some of postmodern art is contempoary, but other work is not. Comtemporary art is more of a broader term in the art scene, while postmodern art can be considered more of a “subsector” of the movement.
I can really aprreciate all the work in the postmodern art because important movements in my life stemed from this genre of art. Conceptual art and installation art, genres or art that were formed during the postmodern movement, are around every corner in my life. Artworks that stand-up for a controversy today are more than a part of postmodern art, they are showing the opinions and thoughts of the world.
I have included a picture in this post that is one of my favorite post modern pieces. This piece is Andy Warhol’s design of Marilyn Monroe. I think it’s an amazing piece that is very eye catching due to such high contrast in the work. Warhol only uses two colors in the entire piece, but yet it is extremely dynamic. I love this artwork for many reasons and enjoy admiring all of Andy Warhol’s work.
