"Besides the writings of the century's major artists, Art In Theory includes relevant texts by critics, philosophers, politicians and literary figures. It is organized into 8 sections, from the legacy of Symbolism at the turn of the century to contemporary debates about the Postmodern. Each section is prefaced by a brief essay. There are introductions for all of the 300-plus texts, so that theories and critical approaches are placed in context. The volume also includes an extensive bibliography. The result is both a comprehensive collection of documents on twentieth-century art and an encyclopaedic history of relevant theory." - Excerpt taken from book cover.
