The Story Of Modern Art

"The Story Of Modern Art, now in it's second edition, is firmly established as an outstanding introduction to the subject. Writing in a clear and direct style, Norbert Lynton aims at helping readers to form a relaxed and confident relationship to modern art. He brings out the challenges and dilemmas that faced artists at the turn of the century, and shows that the subsequent developments have been serious and intelligent efforts to create art that is both honest and significant." - Excerpt taken from book cover.
