Traditionalism. What is that? What is art? What is design? What is a category?

"This merging of consumer and modernist culture led to a radical transformation of the meaning of "modernism" itself. Firstly, it implied that a movement based on the rejection of tradition had become a tradition of its own. Secondly, it demonstrated that the distinction between elite modernist and mass consumerist culture had lost its precision. Some writers declared that modernism had become so institutionalized that it was now "post avant garde", indicating that it had lost its power as a revolutionary movement. Many have interpreted this transformation as the beginning of the phase that became known as Postmodernism. Recently, (2000) a new paradigm has been suggested, comprising not only traditionalism versus modernism but also a third group, called Cultural Creatives, who differ from both."
