From this comparison between modern and postmodernism, the distinction between the two modes of thought is clear. However, a clear distinction between the two creates a modern-postmodern dichotomy that undermines the very principles that postmodernism promotes. Postmodernism challenges `the appeal to the meta-narrative to legitimate foundationalist claims,`(Best and Kellner) but in such a challenge a postmodern meta-narrative is created.
I came across this image some time ago and at first I did not see anything special about it but there was something... something confusing so this may be the reason why I called it confused woman. After reading more information about Sherrie Levine and origin of this artwork it became even more complicated but there is something special something that I still try to figure out what was befind that facial expression and photographers intentions.
A Sherrie Levine and/or Walker Evans Photo. In digital form the relationship between the Levine and Evans photographs is further complicated. Are these images digital reproductions of Sherrie Levine works that are rephotographs of a Walter Evans photograph. Or, are these digital reproductions of Walter Evans photographs. It is impossible to tell because there is no difference between the original Evans photo and the Levine photo.
