Comprehensive, authoritative, highly readable and generously illustrated, Herbert Read's text has been rightly acknowledged as by far the best introduction to the subject (Alan Bowness) and throughout, lively and closely packed (Hugh Casson). Here is modern painting from its roots in the work of Cezanne, through Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism and Dada in the early decades of the twentieth century and on to Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s. The works of Frank Stella, Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, amongst many others, are discussed and analyzed by Caroline Tisdall and William Feaver in a lively final chapter that brings us up to present times and points to exciting new developments. 500 illus., 118 in color.

Softcover. English. Thames & Hudson. 1985. 396pp. In fair/good condition. Book No: 26587
