Intéressante présentation de peintures modernes, pour la plupart connues et appréciées de par le monde. Ouvrage copieux qui se lit et se regarde facilement et permet une approche relativement aisée de ce qui s'est fait de mieux du XIXe au XXe siècles. Instructif et cohérent.

this book has a really cool cover design but i found the art depicted inside extremely disturbing. do not look at this 'art' until you are familiar with the term dadaism. this is the opposite of art, 'anti art'. spend your money elsewhere.
good

I bought this book as a supplimental text for my 20th Century Art History class and I'm so glad I did! It's a great book for anyone who's interested in art- or for those who hear an artist's name mentioned and wants to check that artist out. The fact that the artists are in alphabetical order makes this a very easy to use reference.
