Andre Derain was a fauvist artist in the early 1900's. As a painter of the modern art movement, he rejected the traditional methods of creating art by using bright bold colors and abstracting his work. In this painting, London Bridge, the water is painted with multiple colors and choppy brushstrokes while the sky is depicted with an unnatural bright orange color.
Like Modern art, Postmodern art has many subcategories. This piece by Sherrie Levine titled, Fountain, is part of the appropriation movement. Unlike modern art which rejects the art of the previous generations, this art looks back to the history of art and reuses old concepts with a hint of irony and humor. It is not necessarily about the process of art but about the content and it's relation to history and culture.
