Post-Modern Art
Post-Modern Art Post-Modern Art is more than just one style of art and is characterized by the intentional application of previous styles of art, mixed with new styles and an eclectic mix of media. The focus of much of post-modern art centers around anti-establishment, anti-authoritarianism, and forms of protest. Anti-war art became popular during the Vietnam era and continues today. For this blog, I will be focusing on art created during the Vietnam war and art related to the Vietnam war. One of the most interesting things I learned in my research was that, in 1966, the Army started a Combat Arts Program for soldiers serving in Vietnam. These soldiers were given free artistic range to create whatever art they saw fit while serving in the war. Many soldiers signed on to serve because of this program. There were a total of 9 teams of 5 artists. Each team took turns rotating into the field over the years. Not surprisingly, the result was quite comprehensive and varied. Tiffany Chun
