Features: This book traces the major schools and movements of Western art in the 20th century, documenting the most important artists and their works during this period: how the colors of Fauvism evolved from Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, the unpredictable transformations in Picasso's forms, how the emotions and social critiques of the turn of the century were vividly depicted through Expressionist black and heavy tones, how surreal dreams and spaces expressed emotions of the real world, or how grand and exquisite modern architecture rose from the ground, and how the Art Nouveau movement seamlessly combined practicality and aesthetics, creating the dazzling array of art and life we see today.
