My definition of postmodern is "contrast." When I think about postmodernism I think about the movie Pulp Fiction. It blends in the high art of serious film with a script filled with cultural references to everyday life and B movies. It presents the idea that art isn't as simple as one thing. It can be found in the brutal lives of gangsters, in the conversation at a '50s diner, in a gold watch that has traveled through too many peoples' asses in order to be given to a young boxer. Postmodern is art disguised as something that is not art.
