History Of Modern Art by Arnason, H. H., Mansfield, Elizabeth C.

About the Item

History Of Modern Art By Arnason, H. H.; Mansfield, Elizabeth C. For undergraduate course in Modern Art, Origins of Modernism, Art since 1945, Contemporary Art and other courses focusing on art in the 20th century. Long considered the survey of modern art, this engrossing and liberally illustrated text traces the development of trends and influences in painting, sculpture, photography and architecture from the mid-19th century to the present day. Retaining its comprehensive nature and chronological approach, it now comes thoroughly reworked by Michael Bird, an experienced art history editor and writer, with refreshing new analyses, a considerably expanded picture program, and a more absorbing and unified narrative. This volume presents a survey of modern art. This term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. Modern artists experiment with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art. This text traces the development of trends and influences in painting, sculpture, photography and architecture from the mid-19th century to the present day. Contemporary art is presented thematically rather than by decade, and various media are integrated. Consideration is given to globalization and the influence of modernism on non-Western and developing countries. Further learning is fostered by the book's bibliography, index, and glossary. Expressionism - 20th century architecture - Cubism - Sculpture - Dada - Surrealism - Otto Dix - Max Beckmann - George Grosz ...

  • Great Collectors of Our Time: Art Collecting Since 1945 by James Stourton
    Located in valatie, NY
    Great Collectors of Our Time: Art Collecting Since 1945 by James Stourton. Publisher; Scala Books, London, 2008. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. "Great Collectors of Our Time" is the first major survey of contemporary collecting and collectors since Douglas Cooper's "Great Private Collections," published in 1963. It examines many of the greatest collectors of our time in Europe, North America and the Far East, and follows their tastes - whether in the Old Masters or the avant garde - from the 20th century into the 21st. In 1945, Paris was still the cultural capital of the world, but its culture was being increasingly challenged by America. American collecting was soon to pull up its European anchor and move across the Atlantic, in growing acceptance of America's own art, the decline in the domination of three European schools of art - Italian Renaissance, English 18th century and French 19th...
