Abstract Art: Second Edition (World of Art)

English | April 14, 2020 | ISBN: 0500204454 | EPUB | 272 pages | 205 MB
Author: Anna Moszynska
An exceptionally clear, thorough, and well- illustrated introduction to abstract art since 1900.

Since the early years of the twentieth century, Western abstract art has fascinated, outraged, and bewildered audiences. Its path to acceptance within the artistic mainstream was slow. This revised edition traces the origins and evolution of abstract art, placing it in broad cultural context.

Well-respected scholar Anna Moszynska examines the pioneering work of Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian alongside the Russian Constructivists, the De Stijl group, and the Bauhaus artists, contrasting European geometric abstraction in the 1930s and ’40s with the emphasis on personal expression after World War II. Op, kinetic, and minimal art of the postwar period is discussed and illustrated in detail, and new chapters bring the account up to date, exploring the crisis in abstraction of the 1980s and its revival―in paint, fabric, sculpture, and installation―in recent decades.
