"This full-color, one-volume dictionary provides a guide through the maze of twentieth-century art. Including artists, movements, photographers, techniques, styles, and turn-of-the-century precursors, The Prestel Dictionary of Art and Artists in the 20th Century draws on the expertise of over sixty art historians to give a comprehensive description and interpretation of the last artistic century. Concise entries, all specially commissioned for this book, and many illustrated with works in color, cover the questions raised by encounters with modern art. Cross-references provide links between artists, concepts, and techniques, and a selected bibliography gives the latest and best books for further reading."--Rabat de la jaquette.
