From Modernism to Post Modernism:

Power House, (1920) Lewis Hine                              Kuwait, (1991) Sebastiao Salgado

The image on the left taken by Lewis Hine is a Modernist image, It was taken during the second industrial Revolution. It depicts mans strength and power when working with machines, this was a key part of Modernist Philosophy. The second image to the right was taken by Sebastian Salgado in Kuwait just 30 days after the war in iraq had finished. It shows several labourers attempting to fix leaking oil wells that had been destroyed. This is a Post Modern image, it challenges our modern day reliance's on technology and ultimately the destruction caused by Modernist ideas.
