Descripción Hardcover. Condición: gut. 2009. The global upheavals that took place over the course of the 20th century provoked an incredible metamorphosis of western art. The abundance of creative productivity during this century revolutionised the art world, breaking down boundaries and resulting in an extraordinary proliferation of artistic currents. In this brilliant work, the author presents the essential disciplines and different artistic movements that accompanied the political, cultural, ideological, and social upheavals of the 20th century. For many years, Dr. Dorothea Eimert has led the Leopold Hoesch Museum in Düren, Germany. After studying art history, musicology, archeology and phonetics, she specialised in twentieth century art. She published extensively on many subjects such as Expressionism, Futurism, New Objectivity, Concret Art, Paper Art and contemporary art. Expressionism, Abstraction, Dada, Surrealism, Concrete Art, Op Art, POP Art etc, etc the 20th Century was a melting pot of opposing, diverging and shifting artistic styles, that even for those in the know, can become confusing. This large format duo (split into early and late 20th Century art and architecture) however does a good job of cataloging and documenting the most influential artistic movements of the last century. The books are set out well and categorize the most prominent art and architectural movements of the century, while giving the reader the major players in each of the scenes. The large format allows for some great reproductions and the text is set out not to compete with the images. Text and pictures compliment each other well and very few pictures feel redundant or out of place. While a little hefty to be carrying around, if you have a nice coffee table or shelf to put it on, and a hankering to learn more about the countless groups, cliques and circles that shaped and categorized 20th Century Art, I would definitely recommend this book.
