This engrossing volume takes readers on a fascinating visual journey through the most groundbreaking and avant-garde art of the early 20th century to the present. Stunning, high-quality photographs of major artworks accompany illuminating discussions of the masters of modern and contemporary painting, sculpture, architecture, and conceptual art. Here are giants of invention such as Picasso and Matisse, the German expressionists, Dadaists, constructivists, surrealists, abstract expressionists, minimalists, pop artists, and today’s cutting-edge creators. They’re all carefully placed in cultural context, with ideas, movements, events, artists, and works beautifully examined. This mainstream, accessible guide will appeal to scholars, art aficionados, students, gallery owners, and art historians alike. Artist, writer, and curator Michele Dantini is interested in projects that combine fieldwork practices, archival research, and fine arts. Some of his latest exhibitions include the Baedeker, Bardini/Boboli Projects, and site-specific works that relate the human and the natural worlds. Author — Michele Dantini.
