“Whereas modern artists assume that the artist, like all human beings, is a unified personality, postmodernists work from the assumption that self-identity is itself an illusion. Modernists, believing the artist is a unique individual, strive for a unique style. Postmodernists work with a collage of different and often recycled and mass-produced styles. Modernists are ‘deep,’ concerned with inner realities and complex truths. Postmodernists are ‘flat,’ obsessed with surfaces and superficial appearances” (Gene Edward Veith, Postmodern Times, p. 95).
