SummaryThroughout the course of the twentieth century, society, and more specifically, the art community, underwent a rebirth called modernism. Modernism served as the basis for artists and society as a whole to seeks an expansion away from Victorian morals, which placed such marked constraints on society and social interaction. In this context, art became a philosophical means of expression in which the artist sought to improve the work to a higher level of expression. One artist made the observation that, “modernist art was the avant-garde mainstream within a broader stream, modern art, because it was progressive, verging toward ever-more-autonomous forms.”

- What is perhaps most interesting about the changes that occurred in the context of postmodernism is the debate over the quality of art being produced overall.
- When examined in this perspective, it becomes evident those ascribing to the postmodern ideology were those that could see the utopian ideal slipping away.
- The progression of postmodern art has also entailed the use of technology as a means for promoting social awareness of cultural changes.
- In the end, it seems reasonable to argue that the development of postmodern art was inevitable.
