Synopsis
The 20th Century Art Book was hailed upon its release as an exciting celebration of the myriad forms assumed by art over the last century. Complementing the phenomenally successful Art Book , and most recently The American Art Book , it presents a new and original way of bringing art alive. Covering the truly international nature of the modern art scene, it encompasses established, iconic works of art and the classics of the future. 500 artists are showcased in alphabetical order, each represented by a full-page colour plate of a definitive work and an incisive text which sheds light on both image and creator. This book is above all easy to use: cross-references help the reader make connections between artists; there is a jargon-free glossary of artistic terms and movements; and an international directory of museums and galleries lists the works on public view. Ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time, it is a fun and unintimidating look at the ever-expanding boundaries of art., Following in the tradition of Phaidon's The Art Book, this is an illustrated dictionary which presents in alphabetical order the work of 500 great artists from the 20th century. Each artist is represented by a full-page colour plate of a key work and a short text about the work of the artist. From figures such as Monet, Cezanne, Picasso and Dali at the beginning of the century to Pollock, Beuys and Hockney in the middle years, to innovative contemporary artists including Hirst and Koons, this dictionary provides a comprehensive listing from A-Z.

    I’ve been picking up on all these little lamps lately. They’re very cute. Just the right size to be carrying in a hand. They shipped in a timely manner and the packaging was very good. They were exactly as described, and I found them to be a good value.

    The glasses are in perfect condition. Shipping was quick, and they were packaged so well, it took me about 5 minutes to unwrap them, but they are perfect. I would definitely recommend this seller.

    A Thorough, Comprehensive Survey.

    Comprehensive review of the art, with emphasis on the artwork. Too many art books have small reproductions of the art, with much space devoted to talking about about it. Art is for viewing. The repros are also quality, with deep, rich color. This book is a good substitute for actually viewing the work itself.
