Titre :	Visual arts in the 20th century (ang)
Auteurs :	Edward Lucie-Smith, Auteur
Editeur :	Laurence King Publishing, 1996
Langues :	Anglais (eng)
Résumé :	Visual Arts in the Twentieth Century offers a riveting new account of the century of art so affected by Modernism. In combining a unique structured view of the period with the inclusion of often-overlooked material, , renowned author Edward Lucie-Smith has created a survey that is through, fresh, and full of insight. Painting, sculpture, photography, the graphic arts, and architecture are treated in decade-by-decade chapters, and because the book-s approach is strictly chronological, rather than thematic, readers can find illuminating affinities between approaches to art normally regarded as separate. Moreover, creativity is seen in its context. Information on historical, social, and intintellectual movements and events sheds light on the cultural environment that stimulated, surrounded, and supported individual artists. Edward Lucie-Smith has also given us the first book of its kind that emphasizes photography -an art for that has remained accessible while at the cutting edge. In addition, the author re-evaluates Modernism by examining the diverse and important roles women have played in this still-influential movement. Finally, more than twenty "Key work" features appear throughout the book. Supplying historical background and aesthetic interpretation, these lucid critiques focus on individual works of art and provide models by which to her works may be approached and evaluated -a valuable touchstone for those who are approaching modern art for the first time.
