Summary |
"Modern Art 1905-1945 provides an introduction to modern art and criticism that will be valuable to both students and general readers. It analyses the major movements in painting, sculpture and architecture - Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism, Abstraction - as well as the lesser-known movements of the sea." "Biographical information and lists of key works highlight the significance of figures such as Picasso, Kandinsky and Matisse, whose works were to influence fundamentally the art of the second half of the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET |
