Post-modernism
Post-modernism should not be looked at as a negative aspect. Modernism had a time where everything had to be the same which brought along the fact of post-modernism. Post-modernism arose because people started to think in their own way. Post-modernism may not be real art because someone just takes someone else's pic and just design it in their own way but that also shows that artistic talent that some people have. I get the argument of how being original is a big thing, which is should be stressed, but why should negativity be thrown just because someone had an idea that someone else already used. There are many artists down through history that stole another artists ideas but were never bashed for it. The reason why its known to be so negative today is because social media declares what is right and what is wrong. I feel Jameson was stuck in his own little world about what is art and what is not. People back then were caught up in a world where everything had to be the same, people like Jameson didn't like to use their minds freely. There is no true explanation of art. People can create art from anything. Art comes from the soul and how a person views art is how they will achieve to create it. People can take a pencil and sat it on display and call it art. Does this necessarily mean that's its not art? No, art can be anything. If another person can see your viewpoint on the pencil display then the mindset of art is neutral.

I think what you're getting at Anthony is that just because a work of art is pastiche or references other styles, that does not mean it has no content or meaning. I agree!
