Summary

Charles Jencks: What is postmodernism?

The question "what is postmodernism?" it is set more and more often starting from the 70s of the 20th century, especially in architecture, from the moment when Charles Venturi replied to the classic modern motto of Mies van der Roa (1886–1969) "less is more", "less is bore". Charles Jencks, an American architect and theorist, left an indelible mark on the polemics regarding postmodernism in architecture and art, considering the concept of postmodernism in relation to painting, literature and contemporary theoretical aspirations. Using postmodern means - irony, allegory and parody - he depicts the history of this aesthetic movement that came out against the dogmatism of modern functionalism and the non-iconic dictates of the "international style". Hence, he compares postmodernism with the baroque counter-reformation, which is a victim of persecution in the "Protestant Inquisition" and which paves its way against "Protestant" rationalism.

This discussion by Jencks is particularly valuable because it challenges a widespread misconception. For too long, postmodernism has been mixed with every art form that comes after the decline of modernism, whether it is minimalism in painting, high-tech direction in architecture or deconstruction in philosophy. Jencks claims that these directions are actually late modern and that the term postmodernism should be used only for painters and architects who have a more complex relationship with tradition and communication, for those who continue and surpass modernism at the same time - a process that Jencks calls double coding. Citing examples from painting, architecture and literature, along with evolutionary trees and over thirty photographs, this book sheds light on a tradition that is still not properly understood.
