Features: What are the "post-generation"? This term was closely related to the "post-industrial era" as described by the technology community. Naming a new trend that emerged from old customs with a "post-" prefix was a popular buzzword in the 1970s and 1980s. However, the birth of postmodern art seems even more complex. The ten chapters in this book, like a continuous thread, "connect" the causes and consequences of various issues related to postmodernism. It is both timely and necessary to study and understand postmodernist art, which has swept through the cultural lives of almost the entire Eastern and Western world. Western art history scholars are doing so, and China's theoretical community should not lag behind. As the late British art historian and critic Herbert Read said in his book Modern Art Philosophy: "Modern art is a spiritual reflection of the social life of our time. If we cannot understand and appreciate modern art, we cannot truly grasp the meaning of contemporary life." Breaking Postmodern Art provides readers with a clear picture of this topic through a wealth of historical facts and valuable visual evolution of contemporary art. I believe readers will find it beneficial to read.
