Book Description
The volume provides comprehensive representation of the theories which underpinned developments in the visual arts during the twentieth century.
As well as writings by artists, the anthology includes texts by critics, philosophers, politicians, and literary figures.
The content is clearly structured into eight broadly chronological sections, starting with the legacy of symbolism and concluding with contemporary debates about the postmodern.
The editors provide individual introductions to each of the 371 anthologized texts.
Material new to this expanded edition includes texts on African art, on the Bauhaus and on the re-emergent avant-gardes of the period after the Second World War. Post-modernist debates are amplified by texts on gender, on installation and performance art, and on the increasing globalization of culture. --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .
