Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern
Art in New York, this volume explores the antimodernist impulse and,
in so doing, presents a new vision of the complexities of modern art.
In an in-depth study, Storr (senior curator in the Museum's
department of painting and sculpture) traces the development of what
he calls the anti-avant-garde, from its first appearance in European
art after World War I through the reemergence of figuration in
international work of the 1980s. In so doing, he discusses (among
other topics) social, political and historical forces; how artists
crossed the boundaries between modernism and the anti-avant-garde;
changing notions of taste and the reception of avant-garde art in the
U.S. Contains 198 illustrations, 172 of which are in color.
