Lecture 10 - Post Modernism

Lecture 10

Post - Modernism



After the lecture, what does post - modernism mean to me?

  • there is a definite shift from modernism to post, which can be distinguished as a reaction to world war 1
  • Complexity 
  • parody, pastiche and irony
  • chaos
  • post - modernism questions conventions
  • using previous historical art styles in their own post-modern work, not necessarily a response
  • questioning old limitations
this lecture cleaned alot more up than i hoped, it explained the way it differs from modernism and i really understood this movement, the complexity, and the chaos, you can see it everywhere. my favourite example is the Beijing Olympic stadium, a very post modernistic building.

it cleared up how confused I was about modernism:

  • simplified ideas
  • utopian ideals
  • simple materials
etc
