It's hard for me to think that postmodern art demands a reaction. I don't take it very seriously. I'm probably going to be putting my foot in my mouth when I say this, but my photo teacher told me something that I agree with which is in art, everything has been done already and everything you do is just a response to what happened before you. It's a little offensive but I believe it. I do believe all it takes is the smirk to "get it" when you look at the art. Postmodernism, I believe, is a reactionary phenomenon because of what the artist's intentions were. But then there are the artists that will go into it with progressive intentions with the mindset that "This is what I got and I have to work with it." That's an interesting question and now i don't know how to answer it. Maybe I have a problem because I just take art very lightly and I don't get why art has to have meaning all the time.
