Timeline For History of Art: List of Dates: Visual Arts Movements, Styles, Schools, Artists: 2,500,000 BCE-Present -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Age of Postmodernist Art -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From roughly this point onwards, Modern Art (c.1860-1970) or 'Modernism' becomes superceded by what art-historians like to call 'Post-Modernism'. In a nutshell, Modernism (ie. the main movements which emerged during the period 1860-mid 1960s) asserted the supremacy of a particular style or interpretation of reality, normally considerably at odds with the prevailing academic tradition. In contrast, contemporary art movements take the view that the 'substance' of Modernism has performed no better, and must be dumped in favour of greater style. Post-modernism thus represents the triumph of style over substance. Post-modernist art typically employs new media and materials, stresses the importance of 'communication' from artist to audience and seeks to renew the big question: 'what is art?'
