Because of this, postmodernism is focused on constantly investigating what is real as opposed to what is not real as the artist understands it while he creates, as it becomes expressed in the finished artwork including...

As visual art has always been at the forefront of thought and practice, it follows that visual art may be a bit ahead of the times, and...

Modern and Postmodern Ideas...Modern and Postmodern Ideas Despite the claims of one to be working in opposition to the ideals of the other, both modern and postmodern artists have worked to depict the range of human emotions within the colors and lines of their work. The modernists, such as Picasso, focused on the emotions themselves with little or no reference to the symbols or issues of the times. The postmodernists, such as Marshall, make these symbols and issues key elements of their work, illustrating the emotions these cause.

Modern and Postmodern Western Music...is characterized by the movements involving revolution of visual arts, music, literature, and drama which rejected the old Victorian standards. Modernism redefined the art in every facet through increased emphasis on impression. The perspective of observation gained importance over the perspective of standard perception.

Joseph Heller, Catch 22 Modern/Postmodern Analysis...create and also creates a true picture of the war.
Success of the novel:
The novel is a brilliant work of Modernism as it has successfully destroyed the traditional belief that the war, medals, victories and the honor of the army is the result of patriotism.

People who are considered sane are actually insane and they do their best to make the sane people insane.
