Introduction to Post-modernism

Post-modernism relates to anything which is after modernism, which in its self means anything during the present. It reacts against anything created during modernism and it is characterised around irony and rebelionism. Post-modernism questions the foundations of cultural and artistic forms through self-referential irony and the juxtaposition of elements from popular culture and electronic technology. The term implies a shift away from the formal rigors of the modernists, toward the less formally and emotionally stringent Pop artists, and other art movements which followed.
