postmodernism - lecture summary

In this lecture we covered postmodernism which is a topic I have studied before but not in as much depth as modernism. The lecture helped me to understand the postmodern age and the attitudes that were held by creatives at that time. In the postmodernist art movement there was a rebellion against 'modern life' and modernism, a disillusionment with capitalism with many calling this time 'the end of days' for capitalism. Postmodern art and design was a mish-mash of different styles with combinations incorporating the modern and the classical.
