Movements in Art Since 1945 (World of Art) Paperback – May 1, 2001

by Edward Lucie-Smith (Author)
4.5 out of 5 stars 51 ratings

This classic account of the history of the visual arts from the end of World War II to the new millennium has now been completely rewritten, revised, expanded, and updated.

The fifth edition reflects the latest developments in a wide-ranging introduction and nine new chapters that deal with the radical transformations that have taken place in contemporary art. Among the topics covered are the increasing dominance of photography, film, and video, and the emergence of a new post-Post-Expressionist group of "Abject" artists whose work stresses feelings of alienation in Western industrial societies, often through the reintroduction of narrative. The emergence of an opposing trend of idealizing classicism, particularly in Italy and Russia, is discussed, and there is increased coverage of the burgeoning practice of art "on the periphery" in Third World countries, where artists have absorbed Western modernism and then created new terms of reference for artistic expression adapted to their own cultures. Numerous additional reproductions illustrate all the recent developments in this completely redesigned edition, and there are a full bibliography and comprehensive chronologies of key events. No other account of the art of the last fifty-five years provides as much up-to-date information about art issues, developments, and players. 100 color and 190 black & white

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great starting point for learning Post Modernism
    Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2011
    I was required to purchase this book for a Post Modernism course and I am happy to say it is a permanent part of my book collection. Post Modernism is too broad to be covered in one book, but this is a great starting point to learn the names of important artists and later look for more info on them online. I also like how small it is; I took it everywhere.
