The Postmodernism departs from
modernism and this movement tried to separate eliminated any classification
between art, popular culture, and the media and limits and expose the
artificiality of style, Art came to be a self-contained study of dimension,
color, and composition
“The effacement of boundary between art and
everyday life, the hierarchical distinction between high and mass/popular
culture and the celebration of the ‘depthlessness’ of culture, the decline of
originality/ genious of artistic producer and assumption that art can only be
repetitious.”
The Postmodernism works require
of interpretations from the viewers to have a meaning. The Postmodernism to
develop an individual opinion from the viewers and made it personal, they want
to see how the person have a different response.
This urinal is a mass-produced in
a factory; it was to shift the focus of art from physical craft to intellectual
interpretation.
The characteristics of
Postmodernism are the use of collage, the presentation of art, the use of past
styles in a modern way and develop of movement like Installation art,
Conceptual Art and Multimedia.
