Very true. Another problem I have with the whole postmodern thing is how much of it can just as easily be applied to key figures within modernism, such as James Joyce, Marcel Duchamp, the surrealists, etc, etc.
Greenberg is probably the writer who I turn to most when thinking about these types of things. His Modernist Painting essay has certainly had a massive influence on the way that I think about the place and function of art.
