Concepts of Modern Art: From Fauvism to Postmodernism (World of Art)

Great book series, better than your average introduction books and definitely more rich in content. A bit disappointing to have images in black and white - I assume for publishing reasons. Although longer than the previous books I read out of this art history collection, great variety in authors of each chapter and lovely re-interpretations of the introduction through time as the meanings of the words concepts and modern art become ever fluent. Perhaps not the best book for in depth reading on specific eras and artists, but a great place to start sourcing or gain general understanding of movements and artists that intertwined within them.

Very comprehensive book. I would have paid a bit more for color plates of the paintings and the print is a bit small for easy reading. I will get higher magnification reading glasses...

Just like new as they stated. Thanks 👌🏻

This was a used book and it was very cheap I am actually surprised at how good of a deal I received on such a well kept book! There was some writing inside but it was actually helpful and lightly done in pencil. Absolutely no complaints :)

This is not an easy book to write, because the modern art world has gone wild with multiple radical approaches to what used to be a relatively easy-to-understand subject. Thus I have no objection to a multply-authored text. And it is expected that some of the chapters will be better than others. OK. My objection is to the pictures. They are all in BLACK AND WHITE! This, in a field where the impact of color is so important! Almost as bad is the fact that all the pictures are bunched at the back, so, each time a picture is cited in the text, you have to go to the back to find this. And many are too small. I would have expected better from such an experienced art history publisher

love it!

If it's modern art, then this book probably has it. Get your fill reading this text. It's good for students, instruction or if you're just interested in modern art.

This book is a compilation of essays on all major art movements of the 20th century. It offers a comprehensive review with very elaborate information on movements, ideas, artists and artworks. Furthermore, it explains the artists' concepts of art, thus enabling the reader to understand why and how artworks were created. The book is very helpful and detailed. It is a must for all those interested in 20th century art, both for students/enthusiasts and experts on the subject.

The book is in an excellent condition

What can I really say? This lovely book helped, and continuously seems to be helping with school! World of Art Series Concepts of Modern Art (Third Edition) was one of the assigned books we had to purchese along with , Art in Theory 1900 - 2000 (An Anthology of Changing Ideas) Ironically I thought I was doing a review of "Art in Theory 1900 - 2000, but got confused! Either way? Both books are pretty amazing, good quality and are lovely!

bought as recommended reading for my uni course. quite an interesting book, the pictures are in black and white though, i would suggest finding if there is a copy with a colour plates section as it saves you time looking the image up on the internet.

Great

Yeh it's fine, a page fell out not long after I got it but still it was only £2.81
