Essential Modern Art

All works of modern art seek to disrupt and challenge what has gone before, to offer an alternative way of seeing. The works featured in this book are hugely varied, and come from a number of different artistic disciplines. What they have in common is that they all are, or were at the time of their creation, works that shocked or troubled. Written with a comprehensive introduction, Essential Modern Art looks in detail at the work of many of the most important modern masters, with detailed commentary on 120 key pieces.--Publisher description.
