A Dictionary Of Twentieth-century Art
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
From Magritte and Picasso to Edward Hopper and Damien Hirst, this text should be a useful reference work on 20th-century art. Edited by Ian Chilvers, the editor of "The Oxford Dictionary of Art", it is both authoritative and accessible, with clear explanations of many potentially confusing terms.;Providing broad coverage of painting, sculpture, drawing, and the applied arts, the dictionary has major entries on the important movements and styles of the 20th century, including Dada, Cubism, Surrealism, Art Deco, Abstract Expressionism, Pop art, Body and Performance art, and Neo-Expressionism. In addition there are entries on art schools and galleries, exhibitions and prizes, terms and techniques.;The biographies feature not only artists but also collectors, critics, dealers, and patrons. Although the dictionary concentrates on the great names, it is not confined to the mainstream of modern art, featuring many artists working in a more popular tradition, such as Vladimir Tretchikoff, the "King of Kitsch", and interesting peripheral figures such as the forger Elmyr de Hory and the model Kiki of Montparnasse.;Entries include: action painting; Carl Andre; angry penguins; Francis Bacon; Constantin Brancusi; concrete art; Cubism; Degas; Duchamp; Jacob Epstein; Lucian Freud; Augusto Giacometti; red grooms; guerrilla girls; Barbara Hepworth; David Hockney; Kandinsky; Paul Klee; Man Ray; minimal art; Museum of Modern Art, NY; Neo-Expressionism; Pompidou Centre; Renoir; Bridget Riley; Norman Rockwell; Rodin; Brian Sewell; Surrealism; Turner Prize; and Andy Warhol.
