The modernism is found to be interested in the narratives of history related to the teleological nature (Denzin, 2012; Kim, 2012).

The postmodernism is found to be interested in the instability and fragmentation while focusing on the elements of destruction of boundaries (Kim, 2012; Weston, et al., 2015). The mixture of different times along with the periods of art may have been considered as the high or low aspects and as a common practice in the work of postmodernism. This aspect of the practice is referred to as the pastiche while it is taking a subjective aspect of the globe with the identification of art.
