This standard introduction to visual art since 1945 has been
revised, updated and redesigned for the first time since 2001.
Movements, trends and individual artists from abstract
expressionism to the present day are summarized, with detailed
coverage of major developments such as pop art, conceptual and
performance work, minimal art, neo-expressionist and figurative
painting, the YBAs and the globalized art scene of the twenty-first
century. A new chapter on art since 2000 includes discussion of
work by Banksy and Ai Weiwei, as well as recent trends in art from
Russia and Eastern Europe. Writing with exceptional clarity and a
strong sense of narrative, Edward Lucie-Smith demystifies the work
of dozens of artists, revealing how the art world has interacted
with social, political and environmental concerns. Nearly 300
images of key artworks range from the paintings of Jackson Pollock
via graffiti from 1980s New York and land art of the 1970s to
contemporary painting from China and video from Japan. The book is
as global in its reach as art has become in the 21st century.
