| Résumé : | A History of Modern Art: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Phototography is the definitive source of information on the art of the modern era. This fourth edition, which has been completely updated, provides a comprehensive retelling of the story of the art and artists of the last 150 years from modernism's mid-nineteenth century European beginnings to today's divergent art trends.
In the decade that has passed since the publication of the previous edition, art historians have come to recognize that works of art, whether sublimely beautiful or provocatively repelling, are artistic responses made by individuals to life in the real world.
In her thoughtful reworking of H. H. Arnason's classic text, Marla Prather poses critical questions -Why did Cubist painters and sculptors refract their subject matter in the way they did? Why did Abstract Expressionism take hold in America? Why did Postmodern architects reject the clean lines of the International Style? What does it mean that artworks of the late 1990s defy categorization?- and provides insightful and thought-provoking answers.
Almost all of the nearly 1500 illustrations are new, a reflection of the thorough rethinking and updating to be found in this edition. The final section of the book presents thirty-seven artists representative of today's decentralized art scene who are working in mediums ranging from conventional painting and photography to video and performance art. With its fully revised bibliography A History of Modern Art is an essential volume for anyone with a curiosity about modern art and culture. |
