I'd still love to discuss all this...

Re: Post-Modernism...
I don't know anything about postmodernism in either architecture or clothing -- it's the literature that makes me dizzy.

Re: Post-Modernism...
My problem is in accepting that anything presented new to me (anything at all) is not modern to me when I am experiencing it now for the first time. The modern is all about now.
How can I be beyond the modern & into the post-modern? I do not live in the post-present.

Re: Post-Modernism...
Picasso's use of African art is an interesting area:
http://www.pbase.com/soulis/image/65642594
He discovered ancient African tribal masks and drew on them as a source of inspiration giving the mademoiselles above their mask-like faces.
A totally modern painting which presented something very old in a very new way. If post-modernism exists then this is a post-modern painting.
... But it isn't.
It's modernist because nobody had thought of post-modernism at this point. And yet the 'trick' of post-modernism (seeing the old as the new) is already right here in one of the high points of modernism. That's why I think that post-modernism is a false construct - It does nothing that modernism hadn't done already.
