Modernism, referring to the period dating roughly from the late
19th century to 1970, is regarded as a crucial moment in the
history of American art. Although Modernist artists adopted a wide
range of styles, they were linked by a desire to interpret a
rapidly changing society and to cast aside the conventions of
representational art. Some, such as Stuart Davis and Joseph Stella,
responded to consumerism, urbanism and industrial technology;
others, such as Arthur Dove and Georgia O'Keeffe, found inspiration
in nature and the Native American culture of the Southwest. This
magnificent new book presents the works of the Vilcek Collection,
an unparalleled private collection of American Modernist paintings,
drawings and sculpture. Art historian Lewis Kachur explores almost
100 rarely seen works by 20 leading artists active during the first
half of the last century, while William C. Agee contributes an
incisive introduction. Lavishly illustrated throughout,
Masterpieces of American Modernism provides an outstanding overview
of the radical shift in art driven by this major aesthetic
movement.
