Description
Modern Art: A Very Short Introduction by David Cottington This book provides a concise introduction to modern art, exploring its history, key aspects, and contemporary relevance. Cottington examines the evolution of modern art, from the controversy surrounding works like Manet's Dejeuner sur L'Herbe and Picasso's Les Demoiselles, to the role of dealers like Kahnweiler and Charles Saatchi. By interrogating the concept of 'modern' art, Cottington sheds light on the relationships between modern and contemporary art, and how the definition of modernism has changed over time. This book is an ideal starting point for anyone looking to understand the subject, and is part of the popular Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press.
