The present publication is an anthology of theoretical source materials on painting and sculpture since Cezanne. The texts have been selected on the basis of their value in explaining the basic theories and concepts of modern art. They may deal with an artist's individual struggle with a specific problem or they may deal with the broad ideology of a group manifesto. They are concerned with both form and subject matter, with social and cultural ideas, with the act of painting, and with many other sorts of ideas. Many of them are basic to the development of the concepts of abstract art. The book also includes a section on contemporary art, with writings by artists such as Willem de Kooning, Claes Oldenburg and Francis Bacon.
