Masterworks of Modern Art From The Museum Of Modern Art, New York

"This anthology of modern and contemporary art, unique in its comprehensiveness and quality, covers over a century of painting and sculpture, design and architecture. photography and books by artists. It is arranged in strictly chronological order so as to offer readers a perspective that will allow them to look at a work and compare different approaches and intuitions in others that were produced that same year and over the course of time. This makes it possible not only to follow the continual process of experimentation that is a specific characteristic of art but also to observe the different attitudes that art has taken to our era, assuming the guise of an account, a commentary, a protest or the proposal of an alternative vision or new values. A "timeline" of modern and contemporary art drawing on the most authoritative and famous collection in the world, that of The Museum of Modern Art, New York."--BOOK JACKET.
