After researching about Modernism and Post Modernism I’ve came across a statement from some theorist of the twentieth Century that say the 20th century is divided by the Modernism movement and Post Modernism movement. The movement of Modernism began in 1980 with people wanting the world to change with the use of science and technology. This started to change the way the world viewed such art forms such as music, art, literature and even photography. The meaning of ‘Postmodernism’ means after the modern. Postmodernism started after the seconded world war and started as a reaction to modernism and how it was influenced by the disenchantment brought the seconded world war. The developments in culture, the economy and the culture of the 1960’s were all impacted by postmodernism.
Man Ray is an Iconic modernism. An American artist however living in France Man Rays work would often be manipulated giving them a modern and surreal look to them. A close friend of Ray’s was Lee Miller who created the photographic technique of solarisation.
An iconic post modernist would be Martin Parr. Martins work is very ‘post modern’ he loves to document changes in the world, and always documents moments exactly how it is.
