Postmodernism: A possibility to develop creative proposals in visual arts?

Abstract

Although until the 1960s it was more or less clear to which school or artistic tendency the different bi-or three-dimensional objects belonged, today such references are diffuse, the readings are dissimilar and the critic, mediator between the creator, the work and the public, is full of metaphors and turns of language incomprehensible to the bulk of the population; that is to say, art is becoming more and more cryptic, even for those involved in the circuit of creation - valuation - diffusion - consumption that assists art. Consequently, in our environment, the stereotype that is often used to elucidate the visual creations of the last two decades is based on the framework of postmodernism, accepted without the slightest reflection or critical position as if everyone had the certainty of what is explicit, an act proper to our simulating culture.
