While previous chapters have been divided according to styles such as the Baroque, Romanticism, or Dada, this chapter is not predominantly divided in this way. Why not?
This final chapter, which has focused on Postmodernism, has shown a distinction from the previous chapters in the sense that it is not divided into certain styles. This has been done due to the fact that Postmodern art is characterized by the abandonment of a set style. This era predominately focuses on how various features of art can be combined to create new, creative works. Postmodern artists have been also characterized by their rejection of a story of art, the use of a diversity of media, references to prior works, complex personnel forms that mirror the complicated world, and other means of deconstruction through art. Therefore, it wouldn't be possible to divide Postmodern art into strict or specific styles.
