Art of the Twentieth Century 2 Volumes

by Ingo F Walther

Art of the Twentieth Century 2 Volumes Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"[W]e can hardly imagine a better look back at the explosion of creativity in the visual arts than this sprawling, two-volume set. Rather than force a single narrative of movements and countermovements, Ruhrberg and his German colleagues concentrate on individual artists, providing just enough surprises to entertain, enlighten, and provoke readers of all levels." Library Journal

Review:

"I know no other art reference book that covers contemporary art so fully and sympathetically, and tries to explain its sundry sects and styles. Unique for reference — 9 out of 10." The Times

Review:

"This is visual luxury — a work of book art in itself." Entertainment Weekly

Review:

"This splendid history of 20th century art is an invaluable reference. Considering that most standard art history times give short shrift to contemporary art, this publication is a godsend." The Seattle Times
