The term postmodernism is used to describe the changes that took place in Western society and culture from the 1960s onwards that arose from challenges made to established structures and belief systems. In art, postmodernism was specifically a reaction against modernism which had dominated art theory and practise since the beginning of the twentieth century.
Postmodernism is widely used to define contemporary culture, technology and art- an age transformed by information technology, shaped by electronic images and fascinated with popular art.
Postmodernism rejects the elitism and difficulty of Modernism.
It celebrates the idea of fragmentation, provisionality or incoherence.
