The Modernism theory developed in 18^th century, and the idea of art is about “a concern with elucidating principles such as taste and beauty that govern all the arts and indeed make them not simply paintings or statues but examples of art.” (P.17)

The Postmodernism theory developed “after the political calamities and barbarisms of the twentieth century, the Enlightenment and Victorian faith in human intelligence and goodness.” (P.20)

The species-centered view of art theory developed by Dissanayake, and it  “combines modernism’s proclamation that art if of supreme value and a source for heightened personal experience with postmodernism’s insistence that is belongs to everyone and is potentially all around us.”(22) More important, this theory states the significant connection between what human found important and the way they enhance the importance.
