Revised and restructured; this second edition of Modern Art traces the historical and contemporary contexts for understanding modern art movements; and the theories that influenced and attempted to explain them. Its radical approach foregoes the chronological approach to art movements in favour of looking at the ways in which art has been understood. The editors investigate the main developments in art interpretation and draw examples from a wide range of genres including painting; sculpture; photography; installation and performance art.This second edition has been fully updated to include many more examples of recent art practice; as well as an expanded glossary and comprehensive marginal notes providing definitions of key terms. Extensively illustrated with a wide range of visual examples; Modern Art is the essential textbook for students of art history.
