Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Visual art - Modernism in pictures
This groundbreaking visual guide to the evolution of Modernist art is an indispensable reference for any art lover or student. From its Impressionistic beginnings in the late 19th century to the pluralistic art scene of the present, the development of Modernism is presented as a coherent, unified, and meaningful process.
Description and analysis have been eliminated in favor of a colorful, well-organized, and highly visual presentation, which shows the simultaneous, chronological evolutions of four categories of Modernist attitudes: realistic, structural, romantic, and symbolist. From Manet to Pop Art, from Cézanne to Minimal Art, from Van Gogh to Abstract Expressionism, from Ensor to Surrealism and Arte Povera - a wide range of modern art movements and artists are represented and compared, allowing the reader to locate artwork psychologically, stylistically, and historically. A beautiful and original work, a new way to study art.
