Edition Description
Mini Edition,Revised edition
Synopsis
Following in the tradition of Phaidon's The Art Book, this is an illustrated dictionary which presents in alphabetical order the work of 500 great artists from the 20th century. Each artist is represented by a full-page colour plate of a key work and a short text about the work of the artist., The 20th Century Art Book was hailed upon its release as an exciting celebration of the myriad forms assumed by art over the last century. Complementing the phenomenally successful landmark, Art Book , and most recently The American Art Book , it presents a new and original way of bringing art alive. The new mini edition has all the visual energy and compelling insights of the original but in a lightweight and highly portable format, making it ideal both for dipping into and for using as a serious sourcebook. Covering the truly international nature of the modern art scene, The 20th Century Art Book encompasses established and iconic works of art and the classics of the future. 500 artists are juxtaposed in alphabetical order, each represented by a full-page colour plate of a definitive work accompanied by an incisive text that sheds light on both image and creator. This book is above all perfectly easy to use. There are cross-references help the reader make connections between artists, a jargon-free glossary of artistic terms and movements, and an international directory of museums and galleries lists the works on view to the public. Ideal for those approaching the subject for the first time, it is a fun and inviting look at the ever-expanding boundaries of art.

  • Gr8 as a desk reference

    I borrowed a book from the same company and loved it. It was very user friendly, and the index in the back is especially handy if you are looking for a particular style and some artists that have works in these styles. I will also purchase The Art Book, as well as The Art Book for Children (since I've had it, the little ones haven't put it down!).

  • Art book

    Nice little book of modern art.

  • Good!

    It is a great reference book! I like the small size, fits easily in a purse. The size also makes it easy to tote around, you never know when you will need to pull out the book to look up an artist...

  • The 20th Century Art Book

    Terrific book for this price. It really gives a great overview of different artists and has all types of media covered in the book.
