Modern Art Painting, Sculpture, Architecture

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. Organized along chronological lines, topics explore the ideas, forms, events, artists, and works-- with each chapter devoted to a style, movement, or decade-- from Cé zanne, Seurat, Gauguin, and Van Gogh through Minimalism and the general reaction known as Post-Modernism. Ideal for readers with a "general"Hunter, Sam is the author of 'Modern Art Painting, Sculpture, Architecture' with ISBN 9780131833302 and ISBN 0131833308.
