Postmodernism is a broad movement that developed in the mid- to late 20th century. It is the idea clarifying concepts that overlap, and sometimes explained by contrasting it to modernism, however, modernism and postmodernism co-exist today and influence one another. The concepts being used can also be useful for making art according to Barrett. For example; Simulate is to imitate or to copy. The simulacrum copies of things that no longer have an original concept. This concept was developed by Jean Baudrillard, a French theorist of postmodernism, is a prominent theme explored by postmodernist. Cartoon figures such as Edna Mode from the movie Incredibles is just one example of simulacra. Edna is based off of a costume designer, Edith Head. Edith Head herself has worked hard and crafted many unique designs that lead her to earning 8 academy awards between 1949-1973. Postmodernism art-making is a movement contradicts the aspects of others, it can be shown through more than just Simulate. It can also be seen in intermediate, multimedia art, photography, conceptual art, and etc.
