(note - written before I ever studied postmodernism. I just had a vague sense for it at that point. Was my statement accurate? Or maybe it better applied to modernism?)
Postmodernism is the final victory of the intellectualizers over artists, where artists have to become intellectualizers and be caught in their grasp to evade their grasp, pretending to play them at their own game.
Game over. Better luck next time
Was it not always so?
