Modern Art!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Art: Impressionism to Post-Modernism (Paperback)
I just purchased this book, it looks wonderful. It has the quality of a textbook, but it does not read like a textbook. that is to say it does not drone on and on, it reads well for those who have an interest in modern art. I cover all the periods of modern art and gives concise background to the artists and events of the perod in which the mode of art occurred.I highly reccomend this book.

A bit talkative, but well illustated introduction,

This review is from: Modern Art: Impressionism to Post-Modernism (Hardcover)
This is a solid introduction to the modern painting that tells a little bit about everything and is well illustrated by very good photos 50/50 in proportion to the text. The amount of text is greater than in popular histories of painting making it a bit talkative or - in other words - analytic. The analysis and publishing are good and may satisfy someone willing to explore, but maybe a bit too much for a casual reader. It does not seem to have much of competition in its class of references a notch above popular.

Modern Art,

This review is from: Modern Art: Impressionism to Post-Modernism (Paperback)
Thank you for adding a textbook option to this site. I found it much easier to buy here than going to the bookstore and paying through the nose for a book I may or may not keep at the end of the semester. Lines at the bookstpre can be a hassle. This book arrived in good condition and quickly since I ordered it well before classes started.
