From Modern to Postmodern Art and Beyond, Part 1 by Stephen Hicks

From Modern to Postmodern Art by Dr. Stephen Hicks, philosopher.
The Foundation for the Advancement of Art Conference, Founder Michael Newberry, 2003
Dr. Stephen Hicks: Leading philosopher with wide-ranging insights from Postmodernism and Intellectual History. Dr. Hicks outlined the spiraling descent of postmodern art and argued that we must "look at the world afresh."
"By the turn of the twentieth century, the nineteenth-century intellectual world's sense of disquiet had become a full-blown anxiety. The artists responded, exploring in their works the implications of a world in which reason, order, certainty, dignity, beauty, and optimism seemed to have disappeared."
"The world of postmodern art is a run-down hall of mirrors reflecting tiredly some innovations introduced a century ago. It is time to move on."
