Timothy Garton Ash :: Homepage. The poetry of Edmund Blunden - English Studies. Neomodern. Intro | original artist members | a new critical aesthetic Artistically we are at a point of change. Since its common coinage as a descriptor of Art that followed high Modernism attempts have been made to adequately sum up the identity of the Post-Modern in relation to the visual arts. In the critical environment of postmodernism even the work of the Modern has been redefined and consequently the theorising behind it too - Jean-Francois Lyotard destroys the clear cut definitions of modern and postmodern by demonstrating that by their precipitation of each other, they actually become each other. Similarly he showed, through a raft of definitions of postmodernity, that you cannot define a thing if you have not experienced it in its totality.
Will the postmodern end on its own? There is no original work. Classicism is not an aesthetic judgment- it is a political judgment of the artistic vanguard and establishment who work together to maintain it, and through it their own validation.
