The collapse of the modern movement in the arts has elicited an astonishing repertoire of artistic and critical responses. The twenty-five essays collected by Art after Modernity provide an overview of the most interesting directions that recent art and criticism have followed, addressing issues such as the decline of modern ideology in the arts or the emergence of a wide range of postmodern artistic practices; current trends in painting, film, video and photography; the investigations of artists belonging to the field of plastic arts about the media and the type of images they use; or the dynamics of the social fabric in which art is produced and disseminated. This compilation is an indispensable guide to understanding both the ideas and themes that animate contemporary art, that far-reaching cultural turn that has come to be called postmodernity.
