The Photo-Realist must have the technical ability to make the finished work appear photographic. 4. The artist must have exhibited work as a Photo-Realist by 1972 to be considered one of the central Photo-Realists. 5. The artist must have devoted at least five years to the development and exhibition of Photo-Realist work.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Is this a postmodernist painting? Can we tell just by looking at it? No it’s not. What’s modernist about it?
- Is this postmodernist? What’s postermodern about it?
- So we might talk about postmodernism coming after modernism. One thing leads to the next, Is this really a logical sequence of events, where one style replaces another? Yes and no.
- Postmodernism is highly debated even between postmodernists themselves. Postmodernism is a complicated term, or set of ideas, one that has only emerged as an area of academic study since the late 1970s. Postmodernism is hard to define, because it is a concept that appears in a wide variety of disciplines or areas of study, including art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communications, fashion, and technology. It's hard to locate it temporally or historically, because it's not exactly clear when postmodernism begins. Postmodernism is a way of seeing the world, it is a strategy – it is not historically bound.
- Rather than read postmodernism simply a style or a periodising concept, (as did many), such critical postmodernists saw pomo as both continuous with earlier forms of modernism such as dada, and a revolt within modernism against a certain form of "high modernism." So let’s ask the question again. Is this a postmodern painting? Let’s think about it using the criteria we looked at a minute ago:
- It’s from the 50s – could be modern by virtue of when it was made? But this isn’t really enough to indicate it’s postmodernity. Where does this fit? Which of the criteria does it most closely match?
- Ones in red are criteria that this does not fit. In some senses it can be seen to be modern and postmodern – so it’s not essential that something be solidly in one camp. Painting in this period was in transition between modernist and postmodernist ways of seeing.
- Here’s another – where does this fit?
- Use of montage – in both cases this is political. a radical questioning of the process of representation Picasso’s newspapers report trouble in the Balkans - this would lead to the WW1. Use of montage is way of putting isolated images in context and of intensifying their impact through juxtaposition. Resembles factory line – fast pace, mechanical. Battle between forces of order and forces of chaos (not sure who is on what side!)
- Despite being made in 1912, I’d say that this painting demonstrates lots of postmodern qualities.
- Here’s another.
- Where does this one fit?
- Again, it’s perhaps more in the postmodernist sensibility than in the modern.
- Hyper realism vs cynical realism?
- "The freedom with which these artists mix classical and popular art-historical sources, kitsch and traditional images, archetypal and personal fantasies, constitutes a rejection of the concept of progress per se. . . . It would seem that, without a specific idea of progress toward a goal, the traditional means of valuing and validating works of art are useless. Bypassing the idea of progress implies an extraordinary freedom to do and to be whatever you want. In part, this is one of the most appealing aspects of "bad" painting - that the ideas of good and bad are flexible and subject to both the immediate and the larger context in which the work is seen." - "'Bad' Painting" catalogue.
- What about the particular sensuous, performative or theatrical qualities of the medium?
