Incorrect? You mean the name of the article _didn’t_ bother me? I’m not claiming that modernism isn’t a “legitimate” art movement (although I’m kind of curious as to what an “illegitimate” art movement would be). I merely said that the name was stupid, because it would lead to meaningless terms like “beyond postmodernism,” which would be an art form of the future.
