It discusses the most important trends in the modern and postmodern phase, and presents the aspects of the aesthetic philosophy upon which it was based, by presenting models of the most important artworks of the most prominent artists from all artistic trends and understanding their role in the fame and spread of these trends, and then benefiting from the outputs of modern and postmodern art in linking creativity to local heritage.
