Abstract
The postmodernism idea is a form of improvement over modernism in various fields of life, including science and art. Postmodernism was a reaction to the modernist movement, which he considered to have failed. The failure of modernism is characterized by rationalism, materialism, and capitalism supported by science, technology, and art, resulting in the emergence of religious moral disorientation, especially the collapse of human dignity. The condition is where conflicts hit humans socially, spiritually, and psychologically. The existence of this conflict and the psychological symptoms that hinder the potential of human life require therapy. However, existing psychological therapy is considered to have not been successful; therefore, the need for "therapeutic art" can be accommodated by the birth of the postmodernist idea, which is characterized by pluralistic thinking and open democracy in all aspects of life.
