About This Book

The author offers an illustrated, accessible survey of modern painting and sculpture that traces a reaction away from Impressionist aims toward Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, and related experiments. He outlines the theoretical goals and practical methods of these movements, discusses color, form, and the Cubist treatment of space, and considers developments in Munich and in sculpture. Critical chapters argue against obscure art-jargon and seek plain explanation, while appended material and reproductions provide concrete examples of stylistic shifts, debates over aesthetics, and compositional and color theories.
