Description
This companion volume to Learning to Look at Paintings offers a unique approach to understanding modern art, encouraging readers to look closely at the works themselves to appreciate their composition, space, form, light and colour, and subject matter.
Engaging and beautifully-written, the book explores key art movements of the modern and postmodern period, including Expressionism, Constructivism, the Bauhaus, Surrealism, Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and Young British Art, as well as architectural and design forms such as sculpture and installation.
Richly illustrated with colour and black and white images by the artists, designers, and architects discussed, this guide provides a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of modern art.
