FROM MODERNISM TO POSTMODERNISM. ARTISTIC AND ESTHETIC ASPECTS

Abstract

The article presents an attempt to answer current questions in the modern situation of the art world. Today we have a sufficient number of weighty volumes about aesthetics, say, of the Renaissance or the Middle Ages. However, even the study of these eras remains an endless source for new finds and searches, which in turn is also associated with a huge number of inherited masterpieces that do not lose their relevance to this day, continue to excite hearts and excite our minds. And if everything is more or less clear with the past, then in what era do we exist? What have we come to and is there any dominant line in the development of aesthetic theory under conditions of absolute pluralism. Can we apply the same aesthetic approach in the conditions of the present as, say, a century ago? What has changed, what have we destroyed and what have we built in these hundred years?
