Synopsis
Subtitled : Painting and Sculpture in Europe 1880-1940.
Part of The Pelican History of Art Series edited by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner.
Professor Hamilton traces the origins and growth of modern art, assessing the intrinsic qualities of individual works and describing the social forces in play.
The result is an authoritative guide through the forest of artistic labels - Impressionism and Expressionism, Symbolism, Cubism, Constructivism, Surrealism, etc.- and to the achievements of Degas and Cezanne, Ensor and Munch, Matisse and Kandinsky, Picasso, Braque, and Epstein, Mondrian, Dali, Modigliani, Utrillo and Chagall, Klee, Henry Moore, and many other artists in a revolutionary age.
