Summary
Postmodernism questioned conventions & rules, especially those set out by Modernism. It had no rules and often celebrated the kitsch and tacky, drawing on the consumerist lifestyle.
The key aesthetic involved a multiplicity of styles and approaches, drawing from other previous sources and periods in art, design & history.
During the period of Postmodernism which begun around the 1960s with Pop Art there was a shift in thought and theory which allowed space for new voices - art and design stopped being dominated by white, heterosexual males.
