Secretism

Secretism

A post-post-modernism artistic movement defined by its rejection of typical terms of definition, Secretism has its roots in literature; however, its influence has since spread to all artistic disciplines.

=Characteristics=As a movement that defines itself by defying definition, Secretism is not easily characterised; nevertheless, here are a few notable elements that are relatively consistent in Secretist work:

*Rejection of Postmodernist ideals (in so much that these ideals are definable, something which most Secretists would deny).
*Strong commitment to issues of Point of View.
*Rejection of commercialization both in point and practice.
