Synopsis
Styles, Schools and Movements offers for the first time a clear and lively guide to the movements in modern art. A unique visual map of the whole period in the form of an eight page fold-out is followed by articles on 100 of the most significant movements of the modern period, with briefer entries on 200 more. To bring out the interconnections and patterns of influence, the articles are arranged in chronological order, divided into five major periods. The articles crisply narrate the rise and impact of each style, the locale and historical background, the work and lives of the leading figures, the manifestos and the exhibitions, the judgments of the critics and the delight or outrage of the general public. The ideas behind the styles are discussed, and each article is supplemented by suggestions for further reading and where to see major collections of the art works. Special emphasis is given to the illustrations, many of which are in colour, which show what standard dictionary entries often fail to, the distinctive visual features of the art itself. Arranged with plentiful cross references, the texts and illustrations allow the reader to trace fascinating patterns of influence and reaction - across time, place and media - through the whole period. 1860-1900: Rise of the Avant Gardes - 1900-1918: Modernisms for a Modern World - 1918-1945: The Search for a New Order - 1945-1960: A New Disorder 1960-2000: Beyond the Avant Gardes - 200 Key Styles: A Dictionary

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1. Mark of ownership. English An Encyclopaedic Guide to Modern Art. Styles, Schools and Movements by Amy Dempsey is a comprehensive illustrated reference work devoted to the styles, schools, groups and movements that shaped modern and contemporary art. Organized as an accessible encyclopaedic guide, the book traces the development of modern artistic practice through a wide range of movements and tendencies, explaining their origins, principal ideas, historical context and most significant artists. It covers major developments such as Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Dada, Surrealism, Constructivism, Bauhaus, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptual Art, alongside numerous less familiar groups and artistic tendencies. The entries place individual movements within their broader cultural and historical contexts and show the connections and contrasts between successive generations of artists. Richly illustrated with works of art and documentary material, the volume combines concise reference information with an extensive overview of the evolution of modern art. An essential reference for students, collectors and readers interested in art history, modernism, avant-garde movements and the development of nineteenth-, twentieth- and contemporary art.
