Full 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. KEY TOPICS: Organized along chronological lines, topics explore the ideas, forms, events, artists, and works-with each chapter devoted to a style, movement, or decade-from Cezanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh through Minimalism and the general reaction known as Post-Modernism. MARKET: Ideal for readers with a general interest in art.
