Product Description: This little volume contains nearly 120 entries which clearly explain the who, what, where, and when of American and European art since 1945. Fifty-six black-and-white illustrations enliven the text, and 28 color plates are interwoven with an invaluable timeline of world and art world events from 1945 to 1996. A one-page ArtChart provides a handy overview of the major art movements during the same period.
Very helpful! I recently completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and this book was very helpful as a reference for my art history classes!
ArtSpeak - A worthwhile guide I am a docent and at times a docent trainer, and this guide came in very handy when I was preparing for an exhibition on contemporary artists. It is well-written, to the point, and has extensive coverage for a little book!
A Great Resource I'm a BFA student at Virginia Tech heading to grad school and this is an excellent book to teach from, have as a reference, or just thumb through for fun. Simple and succinct while still thorough. It's really an invaluable thing to have for ready info at your fingertips. This book has been part of the curriculum here for Performance Art, Found Object Sculpture, and Installation classes, and everyone in the class universally approves and finds it helpful.
Great book for art history classes Perfect for writing critiques and analyses from all art movements. Great glossary of terms for a beginning art student looking up hard-to-understand words in text books.
Great for art history students! A glossary of art terms. This book is a definite must for those writing analyses of art. It's also good for looking up those tricky terms in your text books. It is filled with artsy terms and illustrations. I used it in all my art history classes.
