Conceptual Art

34
Q

A reaction against modernist formalism, seen as elitist. Far more encompassing and accepting than the more rigid confines of modernist practice, postmodernism offers something for everyone by accomodating a wide range of styles, subjects, and formats, from traditional easel painting to installation and from abstraction to illusionistic scenes. Postmodern art often includes irony or reveals a self-conscious awareness on the part of the artist of art-making processes or the workings of the art world.

A

Postmodernism

35
Q

An analytical strategy developed in the late 20th century according to which all cultural “constructs” (art, architecture, literature) are “texts.” People can read these texts in a variety of ways, but they cannot arrive at fixed or uniform meanings. Any interpretation can be valid, and readings differ from time to time, place to place, and person to person. For those employing this approach, deconstruction means destabilizing established meanings and interpretations while encouraging subjectivity and individual differences.

A

Deconstruction

36
Q

A term coined by British art critic Lawrence Alloway to refer to art, first appearing in the late 1950s, that incorporated elements from consumer culture, the mass media, and popular culture, such as images from motion pictures and advertising.
