Professor
“This week, we’re exploring different perspectives on postmodern art. Some critics argue that postmodern art is meaningless and lacks the skill and purpose found in traditional art forms. Others believe that even if the artwork is unconventional or confusing, it still qualifies as art if it provokes thought and sparks conversation. What is your view on postmodern art? Do you think it has value, or is it simply meaningless?”
Student A
Vahid
“I don’t really see postmodern art as “real” art. To me, it often seems random or made without much effort or talent. If it confuses people or looks like nonsense, how can it be meaningful? I believe art should require skill and communicate something clear. If the goal is just to get people talking, that doesn’t mean it’s good art—it might just be attention-seeking or trendy.”
Student B
Angel
“I think postmodern art has real value. Even if it doesn’t look like traditional paintings or sculptures, it challenges people to think differently about society, culture, and what art can be. Sometimes the point is to provoke conversation or question norms, which is important. Art isn’t just about beauty or technical skill—it’s about expressing ideas and emotions, and postmodern art does that in its own unique way.”
