Modern matters: A blow-by-blow account of groundbreaking
modernismMost art historians agree that the modern art adventure
first developed in the 1860s in Paris. A circle of painters, whom
we now know as Impressionists, began painting pictures with rapid,
loose brushwork. They turned to everyday street life for subjects,
instead of overblown heroic scenes, and they escaped the power of
the Salon by organizing their own independent exhibitions.After
this first assault on the artistic establishment, there was no
holding back. In a constant desire to challenge, innovate, and
inspire, one modernist style supplanted the next: Symbolism,
Expressionism, Futurism, Dada, Abstract Art, renewed Realism,
Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop, Minimal and conceptual
practice.This indispensable overview traces the restless energy of
modern art with a year-by-year succession of the groundbreaking
artworks that shook standards, and broke down barriers.
Introductory essays outline the most significant and influential
movements alongside explanatory texts for each major work and its
artist.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis Compact cultural
