The Difference Between Modernism And Postmodernism Photography

Published on by jessicacantwelldiscourse

When researching the difference between Modernism and post-modern photography, I found out that modernism dates back from the 18th Century. Modernism emphasises on rationality, technical progress and the power of sciences. An example of modernism photography would be landscape photographer, Ansel Adams.Modernism photography sticks to the ‘rules’ and postmodernism rejects the ‘rules’. Modern photography is filled with warmth and passion, while post-modern photography is said to be dispassionate and cold.Postmodernism is anything that challenges modern concepts and concerns; photographer William Eggleston is a good example of postmodernism. Postmodernism lasted from the 1920's to the early 1970's . Postmodernism rejects the tenets of modernism, such as belief in reason and notion of truth, Postmodernism rejects the elements that comprise the modernist world, including the ideas of truth, self meaning and purpose.
