Modern and contemporary art can be both baffling and beautiful; it
can also be innovative, political, and disturbing. This book sets out
to provide the first concise interpretation of the period as a whole,
clarifying the artists and their works along the way. Closely informed
by new critical
approaches, it concentrates on the relationship
between American and European art from the end of the Second World War
to the eve of the new millennium.
Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns,
Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and Damien
Hirst are among many artists discussed, with careful attention being
given to the political and cultural worlds they inhabited. Moving along a
clear timeline, the author highlights key movements such
as Abstract
Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptualism, Postmodernism, and
performance art to explain the theoretical and issue-based debates that
have provided the engine for the art of this period.
