Post Modern Art


Listen Later

Postmodernism is much more idiosyncratic (The Simpsons famously defined post modern as "weird for the sake of weird"). Postmodernism is rooted in sketpticism of the broad modernist narratives. Post modern philosophy is much more subjective and doubtful of certainty and stability of meaning. To be clear, there are objective and verifiable facts, but post modern philosophy tells us that people’s responses and interpretations of those facts are affected by tons of different factors from society and individual experiences.

For my Post Mosern Collection, here are my five picks:

  1. Marcel Duchamp - Fountain. While this piece was created right in the heart of the modern era, many critics and historians argue that the Dada movement was much in line with post-modern thought and laid the groundwork for postmodernism. If I am putting together a collection to help people understand post modernism, I would start with readymades.
  2. Roy Lichtenstein - Look Mickey
  3. Robert Smithson - Spiral Jetty
  4. Yayoi Kusama - Love is Calling
  5. Rober Raschenberg - Erased de Kooning

  6. If you want to learn more, you can find images of those works along with podcasts to learn more about any works that catch your eye at www.artsmartpodcast.com
