The Philosophy of Art in the 21st Century

Post-postmodernism & the Gallery at Reverie

By: James Stroud

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if postmodernism was absolute nonsense? What if we were at the starting point of a great new artistic movement? Could this movement take us beyond the outdated logic of postmodernism and into an entire new world of possibilities for artist and non-artist alike? We are almost a century past the great art movement championed by Gertrude Stein that left ripples through the 20th century and this book will navigate you through in a similar manner why it is time to move beyond postmodernism (in a similar manner that Stein guided Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Henri Matisse, etc.) What is post-postmodernism and can I play a part? What is cubism, impressionism, post-impressionism, fauvism, expressionism, etc.? What about the religious or non-religious artist? All of these questions and more are answered in this simple and easy to follow book as well as the art gallery at Reverie (showcased in the book) that is championing this concept of post-postmodernism and support for the local artist. A great introduction to not only post-postmodernism but also art-theory, philosophy or art and art history. Very readable with references, pictures, and suggested readings throughout.
