Well the definition of modernism is a
modern thought, practice, or character. The modernist movement in the world of
art hit the western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some
people in this day and age have defined modernism to be a progressive trend
within society that provokes the power of humans to create, improve and reshape
the environment they live in with the help of science, practical experiments
and technology. Here is a link of Jackson Pollock’s tribute website: http://www.jacksonpollock.com/ (©2003–present JacksonPollock.com, 2003). He's work was seen as
modernist art because of his abstract work, which challenged conventions.
Post modernism is rather difficult to
define as it doesn’t really have an established meaning as a whole. A person
can believe in their own way of what post modernism is for example in this
video I got the impression of this person believing in this about post
modernism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ehh1b6kNWA this video is called modernism/postmodernism? (jacktheripper29,
2011). Not a means of doing philosophy, but rather a way of approaching
traditional ideas and practices, (modernist ideas and practices) in
non-traditional ways that derives from already established modes.
