An anthology of original thoughts without pictures,
By
This review is from: Post-Impressionism to World War II (Blackwell Anthologies in Art History) (Paperback)
"Post-Impressionism to World War II" is a collection of writings by artists, critics, and historians without illustrations. The texts include primary sources from 1880s to the late 1930s as well as more recent criticism. This sophisticated black-and-white anthology may satisfy curiosity of serious art students and teachers by providing a point of view by, or analytical materials pertinent to, many artists including their art's programs and manifestos, spirit and subjectivity, relation to mass culture and modernity, politics and avant-garde, identity and appropriation. It is essential for those hungry for original thoughts.
