Modern art is a set of artistic practices that took shape in the second half of the 20th century. Usually modern art is understood as art that goes back to modernism, or is in contradiction with this phenomenon.

The whole world, including ourselves, our idea of ourselves, is only a text, complex semiotic systems. The classical definition of this situation is given by J. Derrida: "Outside the text there is nothing", culture, history, personality - everything has a textual nature.

The true ideal of postmodernists is chaos, which has an initial state of disorder, a state of unshackled possibilities. In the world there are two principles: the schizoid principle of creative development and the paranoid beginning of a suffocating order.
