Published: English

Product Description:

Richly illustrated and clearly focused, this book surveys the genesis, development, and culmination of modern European/American painting, sculpture, architecture, and conceptual art—from Post-Impressionism through the most recent developments in the 1990s. It avoids the typical encyclopedic approach of surveys in favor of examining selected but highly representative works in greater depth and from an enlarged spectrum of critical discourse. Organized along chronological lines, topics explore the ideas, forms, events, artists, and works—with each chapter devoted to a style, movement, or decade—from Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh through Minimalism and the general reaction known as Post-Modernism. Ideal for readers with a general interest in art.

Modern Art, Revised and Updated (3rd edition)
This book was assigned to me as a text for a class in art history. If you are looking for a modern art anthology, this is a book for you. There are loads of beautiful pictures chronicling the trends in western art and architecture from the impressionists through the 20th century. However, if you are a student looking for a straightforward, encyclopedic, factual and chronologic approach to the subject, be prepared for a struggle. The writing is surprising more literary than historical and flits from trends to styles, to various artists, and back. Granted, trends in "modern art" could no longer occur in isolation (as in the classical period through the 19th century), especially in the age of modern communication, TV, film, and computers. So we are left to the interpretations and opinions of art historians to fathom and expound upon the influences of this on that, of this artist on that artist, of this historical event on that choice of color, design, or material. The book is most enjoyable, as a sort of non-fictional novel. It's tough going for an art student.


Awesome deal
Book arrived in time, and fast reply for questions.
If I have to buy this book again, I'll buy from this guy.
