Only the fact that postmodernism appeared as artistic phenomenon is beyond the question. New post modernistic forms appeared in the 50s of the past century in the United States in such areas of culture as architecture, sculpture, and painting. Later this movement and art tendency has spread rapidly in music and literature. The following style features are characteristic for postmodernism: deliberate orientation on eclecticism, irony, diversity, parody comprehension of traditions, repulsion of art division into elite and mass art, breaking the barrier between the art and everyday life. sharon_white@pacificarticles.com (Sharon White) Fri, 13 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3058/1/The-United-States-of-America/The-United-States-of-America.html The USA is the name of the country composed of 50 states joined in a federal republic.
