Summary "Here is modern painting from its roots in the work of Cezanne, through Cubism, Futurism, Surrealism and Dada in the early decades of the twentieth century and on to Abstract Expressionism in the 1950s. The works of Frank Stella, Richard Hamilton, Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, amongst many others, are discussed and analysed by Caroline Tisdall and William Feaver in a lively final chapter that brings us up to the present times and points to exciting new developments. An indispensible reference work that bears witness to the genius of Herbert Read - artist, poet and art historian." - back cover
