Postmodernism

Postmodern art does pose questions that demand the viewer's response. It is definitely a reactionary phenomenon. Postmodern art is defined as art which goes against modern art. It can be related to traditional, classical or it can be drastically different than art of today. Postmodern art makes you think hard of what's it about rather than giving you all the information. It also can make a statement of today's culture.
Andy Warhol is an excellent example of postmodernism. He is probably the most famous figure of postmodern art. Warhol made his art to comment on modern culture. He took photos of celebrities and distorted or changed the picture and made it into art. Warhol's art made a statement that poked fun at whatever was happening at the time. Andy Warhol wanted the viewer to question whatever or not his artwork had meaning and what kind of meaning he had displayed.
Postmodernism makes the viewer react to what is made or shown. The art in question is different to what we are accustomed to. It has to strike the viewer in the face. The picture can be of a soup can and nothing else. What does this picture say? You have to think real hard if you have no clue. People in today's culture would have a hard time guessing because it is not relevant anymore. It still makes you question its purpose though.
