The ready-made Fountain that
made by the artist Duchamp is first considered as an ugly work piece because
many people did not admit it as an art piece considering its ugliness
and inappropriate appearance; however,the Fountain's art value is not
expected to be judged by one universal aesthetic standard, instead it reflects
the artist's alternative understanding of art. How to tell a true story examines the complex relationship
between the war experience and storytelling. O’Brien’s story shows that a
storyteller can shape the listeners’ experiences and opinions. O’Brien’ s story
distorts our understanding of beauty and ugliness, and he states that
there is no completely true story because every story is told by different
ways. The HSBC ads are a group of pictures reflect the subjectivity in
a way that every group of pictures has either the same picture but
different title or the same title but different pictures.
Those three work pieces above can carry out the main theme
of Postmodernism: subjectivity.
