Postmodern art does get my reaction most of the time. It's usually a comment on cultural phenomenon and I am always interested in hearing it -- well, seeing, reading, and experiencing it, too. It's important to pay attention to anything even if it is not standard and doesn't seem "worthy." That is how art movements happen -- and if you're not paying attention then you miss out and get stuck in the period before. I think it's also okay to "smirk knowingly" too. If the art gives you a feeling that you don't want to take too seriously then perhaps that is what its intention was in the first place.
I think that it is a combination of reactionary and progressiveness. It absolutely is. It's a new form that evokes a certain kind of feeling that may or may not be passionate. It does both for me. It almost subtly pokes fun and I like that.
Do I consider the paintings and discuss them in class with everyone?
