I recommend reading this

Or the guy that fed food coloring to thousands of flies and let them shit on a canvas for a few hours
Or the one which is literally just a white canvas painted white
It depends on the context
It's like this
The first time someone created this type of art and it got popular recognition, it was revolutionary
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?
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
Technically I guess you are right
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
