'A useful and mercifully jargon-free introduction to a very complex subject' Richard Cork

In a series of essays by some of the most internationally acclaimed writers on art, the extraordinary artistic challenges of the twentieth century are introduced and discussed with unparalleled lucidity, intelligence and factual accuracy. No other book on modern and contemporary art presents in as concise and authoritative a manner the ideas that underlie the diverse and radical developments of the last hundred years.
