Book Reviews of Modern Art: Impressionism to Post-Modernism

Book Review: A bit talkative, but well illustated introduction
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a solid introduction to the modern painting that tells a little bit about everything and is well illustrated by very good photos 50/50 in proportion to the text. The amount of text is greater than in popular histories of painting making it a bit talkative or - in other words - analytic. The analysis and publishing are good and may satisfy someone willing to explore, but maybe a bit too much for a casual reader. It does not seem to have much of competition in its class of references a notch above popular.

Summary of Modern Art: Impressionism to Post-Modernism

A superbly illustrated overview of the major movements in the visual arts from Impressionism to Post-Modernism.

Modern Art is an authoritative introduction to every important development in the visual arts from the late nineteenth century to the 1980s. Eight critical essays by noted art historians shed light on topics from Impressionism to Dada, Art Nouveau to Pop Art. The essays are ordered chronologically, and each thoroughly examines the historical context?political, social, and technological?that shaped the movement under discussion.

The text is accompanied by more than 400 color illustrations of the work of some of the most celebrated figures in art history, comprising an invigorating multiplicity of visual styles. Anyone seeking a gallery of the masterpieces of twentieth-century art, together with an informed survey of the period, will find no better single volume. 400+ color illustrations
