Modernism and Postmodenism

Modernism started during the 1890s and ended during 1945.  It was a movement including architecture, art and literature which rejected the ideology of realism. Most paintings were sort of flat coloured, sharp edged and simplified such as 'Les Demoisiles' by Pablo Picasso (1907).

Postmodernism was yet another art movement which started during 1950s. this movement was full of simplification, performance art, collage appropriation and recycling some styles of the past and themes in a modern-day context.
Movements such as Installation art, Conceptual Art, Multimedia and Intermedia (involving video) are classified as postmodern.
