Kirjeldus: “In this lucid survey of art and architecture during the last hundred
years, Alan Bowness shows how experiment and tradition have enriched one
another. Beginning with the naturalist tendencies of the Impressionists in
the 1860s and 1870s he follows the development of art towards constantly
new methods of expression to the 1960s. This has been a period during which
virtually every assumption made about art has been questioned, turned
upside down and in some cases destroyed. Dr Bowness skilfully demonstrates
how the broad movements which followed Impressionism, from Expressionism to
abstraction, have evolved and diverged from each other, but he also
examines in illuminating detail the contributions of individual artists,
such as Manet, Monet, Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rodin,
Matisse, Braque, Brancusi, Picasso, Mondrian, Kandinsky and many others
whose work is discussed and illustrated.”–BOOK COVER.
