Fantastic survey of everything a reasonably well educated American should know about American art history. Well written and superbly chosen examples of every major art movement of the 20th century

I had to buy this book for a class a couple years back, took the class, sold the book back and then realized a few weeks ago that I really missed the book. I find this book to be very interesting and the variety of information is great. I would recommend this to anyone out there studying American art and it's movements.

Wonderful book, exactly what I needed for class as a supplement to the articles given in class.

i needed this for an art class studying contemporary artists. the price is great for those who want to avoid purchasing expensive textbooks at school. the book itself is a great reference if you're a fine art student.

I was mislead into believing that this was a history of twentieth century American Art, when in fact it is a political rant by the author, Erika Doss. Her polemic is the same old delusional diatribe; America is evil, and all the usual groups of "victims" have had to suffer living here in the land of the evil white conservative Christians. Give me a break...or rather, give me what I paid for; a history of twentieth century American Art, NOT a political re-education. I cut some of the illustrations from this book and placed the remainder in the trash. Don't waste your time or money.
