As the modernist strive as their goal, that paint be just paint, steel be steel, glass be glass. We can see these adaptations in architecture as well as paintings. Buildings rose into the sky seemingly built by glass alone. Most of their work was based on minimalist ideas. They took less is more, as a truth in art. And non shall disobey the truth. In painting we see the death of feeling, the loss of emotion, Not a story to be told. The paint is just paint. It was not even abstract, it was not allowed to have any thought, just paint. As the Dadaist before them they feel prey to their own concept. That is, it was doing just what they were doing that became their own demise. Art without feeling. Boring and dead.

Let us skip ahead to what is now called the Postmodern Ara. In architecture this is well define. They take from the past and make it conform to the now. Ex amble we can take the Renaissance coulombs make them out of a flat steel add a little art-deco at the top and the bottom, and Bang, we have Postmodernism. It is pleasing to the eye, and uses 3 different art movements to achieve its goal.

There is much debate on just what is Postmodern in the painting Field. Postmodern seems to have taking a different twist. Many say that in the postmodern world things move so fast that no one takes the time for thought. Therefore it is random images, without patterns. Appearing and disappearing as fast as the mind (or before the mind) can comprehend what is being said. This is a type of deconstruction of the human element. A de-synthesizing,as you will, of the brain. This seems to be the foremost embraced idea of Postmodern paintings. If true, just what am I?

I like the architect, Take many ideas from the past, and make a statement of the now. I take the Surreal combine it with Cubism, add in some impressionism, modernism, (though hard to see) wrap it up in a Braque language, and I get a painting that some say is very abstract but has a message to be read. Where do I stand? What am I? The ansure lies within myself being. I do what I do because it is me. I live in a Postmodern world. But I have much to say. And though my paintings I can express myself as a whole. For this I will vote that I am a Post Postmodernist. And anyone that disagrees with me is cruising for a bruising. LOL
