Post-Modernism is DEAD! LONG LIVE Post-Post-Modernism! ... Here we go again. You just gotta love this kind of ArtThink/ArtSpeak.
Hee hee. Love it or hate it, you can't erase that Postmodernism happened.
It is my sense that we painters have been painting along without caring, really. I think Postmderne is so dead it's got a smell...but maybe that was part of the deal, too.
