Define Post-Modern Art

When did it begin? How did it begin?

After a couple decades of confusion since Modernism, Post-modern art came to recognition around the 70's from the influence of many movements during the 40s 50s and 60s along with a reaction to the intellectual "high" art of Modernism which was focused on form and technique.

When did it end? Did it end?

It's not clear when or if it ended, but I believe around the late 80's and early 90's along with the birth of internet and new level of globalization.

What are the main principles associated with the Post-Modern Art Movement?

Opposing the ways of Modernism.

Who are the main artists/critics associated with it and what is the aesthetic character of Post-Modern Art.

Joseph Beuys, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Andy Warhol
