Abstract
Eclectic Objects in Postmodern Art
Since the 1960s, when the concept of postmodernism began to be used, this term has manifested itself in various branches of fine arts, i.e. art, sculpture, graphic design, architecture and philosophy and found its expression in art and its objects. It is well-known fact that from past to present views related to art have followed one another and that current approach has rejected the previous one. Postmodern art has assumed different identities than modern art, which it followed, and brought new concepts and points of views to the world of art. Harboring in itself some structural properties of modernism despite its rejection of it, postmodernism has often been called “advanced modernism”.
Investigating reflections on postmodern art of (eclectic) artistic forms that affect the world of art and bear different cultural features is important to interpret and understand today’s art. This study, which aims to reveal eclectic works of art in the history of Western art and their relationships with postmodern art, points out how complicated postmodern art and concepts are and what multiple and eclectic properties they bear.<
