Abstract
"Offers an A to Z guide to the art of an extraordinary age. From old favourites such as monet, Picasso, Dalí, and Hockney to the most innovative contemporary artists, 500 full-page colour plates present celebrated works alongside future classics. Each image is accompanied by an incisive text, shedding light on the work and its creator. The alphabetical arrangement presents thought-provoking juxtapositions, while cross-references lead you through the century by subject matter, style or medium. Full glossaries of terms, artistic movements, and museums and galleries are included, creating a self-contained volume which presents a whole new way of looking at twentieth-century art"--Page [3].
