Modern Painting: A Concise History - Paperback
$24.95
by Simon Morley (Author)
While acknowledging the legacy of Herbert Read's classic 1959 study A Concise History of Modern Painting in the World of Art series, academic and artist Simon Morley places the foundation of modern art much earlier than Read, at the emergence of Romanticism and the dawn of the industrial age. Structured loosely chronologically by period, the focus is as much on individual artists as movements, with works discussed within a broader context--stylistic, historical, geographic, and gender and ethnic frames--themes which recur throughout the chapters. Generously illustrated, the global and diverse range of artists featured include William Blake, Édouard Manet, Hilma af Klint, Kazimir Malevich, Willem de Kooning, Amrita Sher-Gil, Faith Ringgold, and Kehinde Wiley.
This guide also includes an appendix in the form of questions the reader might like to ask about the artists and ideas discussed--in order to reconsider the works from a contemporary perspective.
