An invaluable guide through the intricacies of the first century of
modern art, ArtSpoke features the same lucid prose,
thought-provoking ideas, user-friendly organization, and striking
design as its predecessor, ArtSpeak: A Guide to Contemporary Ideas,
Movements, and Buzzwords. Chronicling international art from
Realism through Surrealism, ArtSpoke explains such popular but
often misunderstood movements and organizations as Impressionism,
Post-Impressionism, the Salon, the Fauves, the Harlem Renaissance,
and so on-as well as events ranging from the 1913 Armory Show to
Brazil's little-known Semana de Arte Moderna. Concise explanations
of potentially perplexing techniques, media, and philosophies of
art making-including automatism, calotype, found object,
Pictorialism, and Readymade-provide information essential to
understanding how artists of this era worked and why the results
look the way they do. Entries on concepts that were crucial to the
development of modern art-such as androgyny, dandyism, femme
fatale, spiritualism, and many others-distinguish this lively guide
from any other art dictionary on the market. Also unique to this
volume is the ArtChart, a handy one-page chronological diagram of
the groups discussed in the book. In addition, there is a
scene-setting timeline of world history and art history from 1848
to 1944, overflowing with invaluable information and illustrated
with twenty-four color reproductions. Students, specialists, and
casual art lovers will all find ArtSpoke an essential addition to
their reference shelves and a welcome companion on visits to
museums and galleries.
