synopsis of modern and postmodern art

I posted links to perhaps a helpful synopsis of both modern and post-modern art.  Note- it is by no means a thorough examination of modern or postmodern art, but a place to begin.

Prudential Building _ 1894_ Louis Sullivan _ Architect

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.
Louis Sullivan
