Modernism is the subjective artistic response to the world during the industrial revolution and modernity. As the city developed, the artists within those cities evolved with it, and it shows within their art. It doesn't just show in art in general, it shows in things like fashion at the time and peoples surroundings in terms of design. The art movement stopped looking backward and started to look foreword in a sense. People incorporated new ideas into art rather than sticking to conventional means.
Postmodernism, in contrast, can be seen as the refusal of modernity. At this time art was broken down into its essence. Art became contrary to the norm, and took on a whole new role in society. Postmodernism broke the rules in saying what was and wasn't art.
