Post modernism has changed so profoundly that the term applies to nearly everything, even the paintings
Postmodernism has now become a historicist, period term for the era beginning with the sixties and ending somewhere around the fall of the Berlin wall.
W. J. T. Mitchell
Using the term "postmodern art" or "postmodernism" to mean a rejection of 20th century rationalism ("So what" is another definition of the "post painting" era).
Painting has always been the fetish medium of art history.
W. J. T. Mitchell
