Postmodernism Era.

Postmodernism describes a broad movement that developed in the mid- to late 20th century. Postmodernism has many different sides to it such as; philosophy, the arts, architecture and criticism. It is typically defined by an attitude of skepticism, irony or rejection toward grand narratives (a narrative about narratives of historical meaning, experience, or knowledge).

Postmodernism as a philosophical movement is a reaction that protests against the philosophical assumptions and values of the modern period.
Some of the most important view points are:

• There is a reality whose existence and properties are independent of the human mind and societal views and practices.
• Scientists  and historians statements can be objectively true or false.
• Human nature does exist. Postmodernists insist that pretty much all aspects of human mind and behaviour are completely determined by what society has taught them.

Postmodern art was a movement that contradicted certain aspects of modernism and some aspects that developed in the aftermath of modernism. It emphasizes the notion beyond forward thinking.
