Art Of The 20th Century - Volumes I and II
Explores the various styles and movements of twentieth-century art, covering painting, sculpture, and related artifacts, as well as new media, and photography; discusses the interrelations between the disciplines; and includes color and black-and-white illustrations.

The term `art` has been defined and redefined so many times over the last 100 years that it has gained entirely new social, political, and technological meanings. Ranging across the full spectrum of disciplines available, including photography and new media, and thematically chaptered to highlight relationships between works and movements, this readable and encyclopaedic masterwork does just what it says on the cover. Whether you want Surrealism or Land Art, Fluxus or Bauhaus, this is your be-all, end-all guide to art of the 20th century.
