The same might be said for the hoopla concerning post- modernism. According to Cronk (1996), modernism and post-modernism is art, which talks about art. When post-modernism is linked to design, the field of design is expanded rather than limited. This discussion will examine that link, look at post-modernism in relationship to its culture, and review the work of designer Robert Venturi. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
