    For Adorno, modern art is negative on different levels.     First of all, it critiques the administered and antagonistic society it is in, at the same time it "makes an uncompromising reprint" of the society (Aesthetic Theory 28).    The work of art is also negative of its predecessors.  Modern art, specifically, negates its own affirmative tradition, exposing the latter's illusion of harmony and totality.    Placed in the dialectical history of art, modern art also negates itself.  Post-war modernism with its lack of tension negates of high modernism's negation and break the latter's taboo (Aesthetic Theory  53).
