This volume is an introduction to the intellectual movement known as Postmodernism and its impact on the visual arts. In clear, jargon-free language, Eleanor Heartney situates Postmodernism historically, showing how it developed both in reaction to and as a result of some of the fundamental beliefs underlying Modernism, especially its positivist, universalizing aspects. She then analyzes paradigmatic Postmodern works of art by artists such as Cindy Sherman, Sherrie Levine, Jeff Koons and Robert Mapplethorpe. Postmodernism provides a concise and articulate overview of the Postmodern phenomenon.

'Heartney does a good job of summarizing which artists might be considered postmodern or who might have been influenced by one or another postmodern enthusiansms … Heratnet touches all the important bases and has the virtue of writing with admirable clarity … this book is well worth the hour or so it requires to read and is suited to undergraduates and general readers alike.
