Modernism, Postmodernism, and the American Psyche: a Few Comments on American Visual Art after 1945
Original language description
Two important American artists are discussed from the point of view of the transition from Modernism to Postmodernism in post-WWII American art. Painter Jackson Pollack serves as an example of the principles of Modernism: authenticity, passion, formalismof art, and heroism of persona. On the other hand, performance artist Chris Burden embodies the values of Postmodernism: irony, self-reference, and transgression of relationships of power as an artistic act. Mention is made of the important role playedby critics who legitimized both artists and the huge sums of money that museums paid for their works, and also of the relevant political context, i.e. the Cold War.
