<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The latest volume in this beautifully produced and affordable series introduces readers to the major developments in the history of modern art--from Realism to the New Leipzig School. The story of modern art begins with a revolution--when the realists started rejecting romanticism in favor of depicting life as it really was. Since that movement began in the mid- 19th century, painters have been rebelling, rethinking, deconstructing, and challenging notions of what art is. Filled with stunning reproductions of some of the world's greatest masterpieces, this reference book offers a chronological journey through artistic revolutions. Each movement is presented in a series of informative presentations--a concise definition and description; full-page and smaller detailed color illustrations; and in-depth profiles of the artists crucial to the style's development. Covering a wide range of movements both familiar and obscure, this accessible and informative volume is a perfect introduction for readers interested in art's constantly evolving story.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This overview is a great introduction and will give any art collector or student a better understanding of late 19th-century and 20th-century art. <p/>--<i>Maine Antique Digest</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ROSALIND ORMISTON is an art and architectural historian.
