Fifty years ago, it was the dream of every bohemian artist to be seen getting out of a limousine wearing blue jeans and sneakers. Today, it's the dream of probably half the people in the country. Futurism: This was a movement of intellectuals who wanted to replace tradition with the modern world of machinery, speed, violence, and public relations. It proves that we should be careful what intellectuals wish for, because we might get it. I distrust anyone with a slash in their job description. I've met too many actor/waiters and too many rock musician/electricians. In America, the only truly popular art form is the movies. Most people consider painting a hobby and literature, schoolwork. In Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a movie.' In the nineteenth century the camera made a realist of the man on the street. Now the computer can make anybody a desktop Cubist. Technology may or may not be destiny, but I doubt that machines will replace art any more than wheels have replaced feet. Many of the contradictions in Postmodern art come from the fact that we're trying to be artists in a democratic society. This is because in a democracy, the ideal is compromise. In art, it isn't. Many people have observed that truth is stranger than fiction.
This has led some intellectuals to conclude that it's stranger than
non-fiction as well.Painter/Activist: I distrust anyone with a slash in their job
description. I've met too many actor/waiters and too many rock
musician/electricians.Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind.The only certainty is that nothing is certain. |
