- Postmodern Art - a movement in Western art, spanning from the late 1970s until the present, which rejects the key ideas of modernism.
- Pluralism - a Postmodern movement in art that assumes the cultural context of art should be all-encompassing in its respect for the art of the world's wide variety of cultures and artistic styles, and that diverse cultural and stylistic influences can coexist in a work of art.
- Appropriation - an artistic concept in which an artist uses an image already in existence and places it in a new context in order to give it new meanings.
- Graffiti - images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Generally regarded as vandalism, the Postmodern era has recognized it as a legitimate artform.
