The differences between Modernism and Post Modernism

What is Modernism and Post-Modernism?

From thefreedictionary.com that noted, modernism is a modern thinking in one's thoughts. Modernism is something contemporary, can be say something popular and latest. However, Modernism can be a genre of art and literature that makes a break with the previous genres.

While the meaning of Post- Modernism is react against early principle and  reintroducing the traditional or classical elements and carrying the style of modernist or practice to extreme.


However, I found a clean data from net is about the differences of Modernism and Post- Modernism

From the data, I'm more understand about the differences of Modernism and Post- Modernism
Therefore I take compare some Modernism  and Post-Modernism artwork

For this modernism art, we can see there are clean and pure lines that we know what is about inside.

However, in post-modernism art, we see messy lines and color all over the places and it's complicated to understand.


Besides, we can know the differences between Modernism and Post- Modernism through music too.

Let's listen and compare.

Modernism music (Cowell- Dynamic Motion):





Post- Modernism music (Libertango + Tango - Post Modern Music of KyungHee University):




Modernism music is more to a clean chords, and very statistic. We can understand what is about. However, in Post-modernism it performed very dynamic chords and it's actually have very complicated meaning inside but overall sounds more romantic compare to modernism music that sounds like B*tch :D

  1. Modernism music sounds like b*tch?? hahaha~~

    Dynamic Motion (1916)by Henry Cowell, one of the most innovative American composers of the 20th-century, uses unconventional methods of playing the piano, such as plucking and strumming the strings. Very avant-garde. Very noisy like Cowell is slamming on the piano haha!

    So, I think The Dynamic Motion should't be in Modernism music category as you say, modernism music is more to a clean chords, and very statistic. Like Jazz and Blues. All time favourite. :D
