Description
The sensitive roots of modern art can be seen in Turner’s paintings of the wild sea as early as the mid-19th century, but it was only the Impressionists and Pre-Raphaelites who broke the elitist classical mode, until the final blows were dealt in the early 20th century by Kandinsky, Klee, and Picasso. Contemporary art was a reaction to the increasing pace of industrialization in the late Victorian world and the desire for art that did not look to the future with classical myths and legends. But when the beast of modernism was unleashed, it split into many different forms, each of which is discussed in this striking, richly illustrated new book.
Original titles and a wide range of authors are synonymous with the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
