Art : The twentieth century

Więcej o książce

This book on the art of the twentieth century is published almost ten years after the end of the so-called “short century“―which, in terms of art, was anything but short―and is a valuable tool for reflection. The author has placed a series of works in sequence, accompanied by easy to understand critical commentary. With concise introductions devoted to every significant art movement and more than 400 color illustrations, this volume enables the reader to become familiar with the fascinating and complex world of contemporary art from futurism to pop-art, dada to conceptual. Presented are some of the most famous artists of the twentieth-century―from Arp to Brancusi, Bacon to Basquiat, Gris to Koons, Gaudi to Schnabel, Warhol to Grant Wood―and their greatest masterworks―never before have they been so accessible as they are in this format.
