in Postmodernist art
(1)The concept of postmodern art and major schools
Postmodernism is a trend of avant-garde art and literature which took place in Britain and France and other places in the United States after
modernism ideological since the 1950 s
There are many art schools of postmodernism，Mainly has Minimalism
New socialist realism art and Super realism, New expressionist art （2）Background of creation
The influence of humanism，Modernism art are far from reality and the general public ，indifferent to social reality，gradually into decline。At the same time Modernism art has violated the creation itself desire of the people, lost to the affinity of reality meaning content lack of ideas clearly, ultimately to the real blank and empty.
（3）Conditions of the times
Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979）, a Jewish social theorist of Frankfurt school ，his important Publication include 《Eros and Civilization 》 （1955）、 《One-Dimensional Man》 （1964） 。 In his view, the post-modern society is not one's personality and characteristics of the height of the non-human alienation of society

Also like Lukas said， in the post-modern society “One's self, his own labor, turned into some kind of objective and independent of his
stuff, some rely on the outside people's autonomy and control the people”3

Herbert Marcuse’s theory of Social Criticism thinks that since the 20th century, although the developed capitalist society are richer and more competitive than ever， but maintained a depressive, and did not improve the life of a person it is to use a terror to achieve economic and technology integration, to transform people into freaks totalitarian societies, and require the instinct of a man spirit of social life are to obey
In science and technology increasingly progress of society, people have become the machine accessories, people lost a sense of security, interpersonal relationship has a relationship with the object。People are into slaves, for the industrial civilization become numb to social machine and feeling happy, one lost the essence of man and autonomy

the modern people's pain and sorrow by the surreal expression。 his painting 《だんご虫の睡眠 》in 1995 describe a man who live in a big and empty house lying in carapace。The Strange works convey such a reality As long as there is a worm shell the same area can be a comfortable life but we have to buy a white elephant in the room 。We are too keen on money ，but forget the essence of happiness
《だんご虫の睡眠 》
《しうじん》in 1999. We are mired in our own world, don’t know what survival is. The background of the gloomy reveals the hero's loneliness and hopelessness. Outside of the girl Is the symbol of Wonderful Things .but the man are mired deeply ,he had forget How to get close to life as well as cherish it. This painting reflects the modern
people's survival ---hopeless, helpless, despondence
《しうじん》
自分で決め》in 1997 。People become the furniture，The seemingly ordinary people to commanding everyday items, saddled with the responsibility and the pressure of life, live poor, unable to release the pressure of their pain only in one's own body can only rely on their drug anesthesia 。
《自分で決め》
