It was very difficult to make sense of all thing books and websites I visited on modernism and postmodernism.
Modernism is the artistic movement that developed in concurrence with, and eventually in opposition to, fully developed modernity. Modernist artists were disgusted with the quality of life in industrial capitalism. They responded to this degradation of the quality of life by retreating into a longing for pre capitalist organic social order, by embracing fascist leaders and ideologies like Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein by seeking refuge in radical and sometimes anti social individualism or agrarian populism. Below is a Stein piece...
As for Postmodernism it embraced this condition and rejected narratives and values for parodies of the classics and exalting popular culture at the expense of traditional high culture. Postmodern art is characterized by highly self conscious uses of strategies like parody to undermine a sense of order and timeless values.
It seems like every postmodern movement had some kind of backlash within it and most of the time these backlashes involved some kind of gender concerns.
