People scratched their heads over its meaning and purpose
People are fucking retarded then
50-100 years later and millions of artists have done exactly the same art
They kept reinventing the wheel so to speak
Therefore the revolution becomes the established
They are no longer revolutionary, they've become the art snobs
How about the feminists who smear period blood all over and call it performance art
Everything ironic is good just because it's ironic, that's not how it works
When irony in art was a new and fresh element, it had some value
If I rape and kill a child, but I call it art, is it still a crime?
When irony became the norm, it lost its purpose
I think you're losing yourself in a completely nonsensical argument
Maybe hitler was just expressing his artistic message
Do you know what postmodern art is, what it's supposed to do?
I went to art school, I have a masters degree from that school, it's all bull shit.
Can you describe postmodernism in a few short sentences?
I can do it in one
A waste of time.
Then you clearly haven't studied postmodernism
So your masters doesn't concern itself with postmodernism then, so it's meaningless in this discussion
But I did have to take several prerequisite classes which covered postmodern shit before I could actually get into the masters program I wanted which was for animation
It shouldn't change anything, but who knows, maybe it helps if I tell you that I don't like most postmodern art?
I fully understand the arguments and philosophy behind postmodern art
Well, I can tell you how I understand postmodernism and its place in the world of art
If you like
I think it's bullshit because it produces garbage that only wine sipping, large scarf, super soy latte, coastal liberals seem to love
Most other people just see an abstract mess
This is an example of postmodern art
I think it's absolutely beautiful

Looks more like impressionism to me
Well it has many postmodern elements
Post modern art to me is that stack of yellow painted steel bars in front of a corporate office meant to convey a sense of wonder but which in reality everyone just calls "the French fries"
Or like I said earlier about the toilet
That's an elitist view on postmodern art
Those who hold that art as the only true examples of postmodernism, whether they critique it or glorify it, are elitists in their own ways
Art snobs if you will
For different reasons, the ones because their tastes are offended by it, and the others because everything else offends them
Or bores them
Basically what I'm trying to say is this
A trend in postmodernism doesn't define all of postmodernism
