Product description

Review

'A key book for anyone interested in twentieth-century art' - Lynne Cooke 'Energetic, enthusiastic and filled with facts. The authors show their interest in the subjects and are willing to interpret them, writing simply and accessibly...a splendid vade mecum' - Marina Vaizey

From the Back Cover

No other book on modern and contemporary art presents in as authoritative and concise a manner the ideas that underlie the diverse and radical developments of the last hundred years. In this new edition, an important essay, "Postmodernism and the Art of Identity", not only brings the story of modern art right up to the present, but also introduces the unexpected development of returning to art the day-to-day meaning it may have lost, through engagement with issues raised in the representation of gender, sexuality, and AIDS. In other essays by some of the most internationally acclaimed writers on art, the extraordinary challenges of twentieth-century art are introduced and discussed with unparalleled lucidity, intelligence, and factual accuracy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Backdrop to Knowledge of Modern Art

Great book series, better than your average introduction books and definitely more rich in content. A bit disappointing to have images in black and white - I assume for publishing reasons. Although longer than the previous books I read out of this art history collection, great variety in authors of each chapter and lovely re-interpretations of the introduction through time as the meanings of the words concepts and modern art become ever fluent.
Perhaps not the best book for in depth reading on specific eras and artists, but a great place to start sourcing or gain general understanding of movements and artists that intertwined within them.

bought as recommended reading for my uni course. quite an interesting book, the pictures are in black and white though, i would suggest finding if there is a copy with a colour plates section as it saves you time looking the image up on the internet.

If it's modern art, then this book probably has it. Get your fill reading this text. It's good for students, instruction or if you're just interested in modern art.
