The key to understanding over a century of dynamic change in art, architecture and design, from Impressionism to the digital age.publiarq.com
Styles, Schools and Movements provides an introduction and a guide to the major developments in Western painting, sculpture, architecture and design during one of the most dynamic and exciting periods in art history.
One hundred main entries move from nineteenth-century Impressionism through to Earth Art, Sound Art, and Internet Art. They examine the context and evolution of each movement - the claims of the artists' manifestos, the drama of the exhibitions, the judgments of the critics and the delight, or outrage, of the public.
A further two hundred entries provide fully cross-referenced summaries of essential styles and movements, tracing intriguing patterns of influence and development. The foldout timeline shows at a glance how the evolution of art corresponds with historical events, providing a thorough overview of the whole period.
Listings of major international collections and carefully selected suggestions for further reading are given for all the main entries, and the comprehensive index features over 1,000 artists, architects, designers, impresarios, critics, collectors and champions of modern art, linking the styles, schools and movements with the people who made them happen.
Whether for reference, fresh exploration or pure pleasure, this is a supremely valuable resource for anyone interested in art and artists in the modern age.publiarq.com
