An accessible and comprehensive guide to understanding the detail behind modern art Great works of art cannot be fully understood in a single encounter. This is perhaps even truer for modern artworks that may not immediately make sense to, or even appeal to, the casual observer. Viewing an artwork— whether it is a painting, sculpture, installation, video, or photograph— as a whole is one method of interacting with it, but a deeper understanding can only be gained by analyzing it in detail. Modern Art in Detail: 75 Masterpieces spotlights the finer points that even connoisseurs may miss. The book includes all the minutiae that a quick glance will almost certainly fail to reveal, including subtle internal details. Susie Hodge writes intelligently and informatively about relevant external influences on the artist—everything from global political events to groundbreaking movements such as Cubism, Futurism, and Primitivism, and even scientific and mathematical theories. This book examines seventy-five artworks from the late nineteenth century to the modern day. It treats each of its subjects on its own merits, but it also views each as part of a tradition that links it to the past, which sees artists pass a baton down through the ages. Moreover, it charts the shift from the supremacy of artistic technique to the dominance of the idea or concept behind the object created.

Deals fairly with art of all the various schools of his chosen period, neo-classicism, romanticism, impressionism and so forth. His only real blind spot is Victorian acadedmic art; but the rehabilitation of nineteenth-century art had not started when Canaday was writing this.

Modern Art and Modernism offers first-hand material for the study of issues central to the development of modern art, its theory and criticism. The history of modern art is not simply a history of works of art, it is also a history of ideas and interpretations. The works of critics and theorists have not merely been influential in deciding how modern art is to be seen and understood, they have also influenced the course it has taken. The nature of modern art cannot be understood without some analysis of the concept of Modernism itself. Modern Art and Modernism presents a selection of texts by the major contributors to debate on this subject, from Baudelaire to Zola in the 19th century to Greenburg and T J Clark on our own times. It offers a balanced selection of essays by contributors to the mainstream of Modernist criticism, representative examples of writing on the themes of abstraction and expressionism in modern art, and a number of important contributions to the discussion of aesthetics and the social role of the artist.

Great paintings cannot be fully understood in a single encounter; there is always more to be derived from them. Art lovers may revisit and reconsider the masterpieces throughout their lives, but a deeper understanding can only be gained by analysing the painting in detail, be it the placement of the subject, the lighting, the style of brushstrokes or the themes. Art in Detail examines 100 iconic paintings from the Western canon and spotlights the finer points a quick glance will almost certainly fail to reveal. These include subtle internal details, such as hidden symbols and artistic tricks employed by the painter to achieve particular effects. In addition, Susie Hodge writes intelligently about external influences on the artist - everything from the socioeconomic context in which he or she flourished, to smaller local difficulties, such as the level of air pollution at the time the painting was created. And she treats each of her subjects not only, to quote Matthew Arnold, 'as in itself it really is', but also as part of a tradition that links the oldest painting to the most recent, as artists pass a metaphorical baton down through the ages.

The art of the present century has created much controversy in terms of the development of new materials and techniques, styles of painting and the achievements, from the 1900s to the present day. It provides an invaluable insight into its subject, so enabling its readers to gain a greater understanding and so form a deeper appreciation of the artistic achievements of the twentieth century. The book is divided into four main sections. The introduction to each of these provides a clear account not only of the background, but also the background to the era and general information against which painting developments should be reviewed. The text describes and illustrates the main techniques employed, developed or invented by the various artists of that time. Any technological innovations in materials and equipment are singled out, so that the reader can immediately relate these to developments in the artistic practice. The core of the book is the detailed analysis of key paintings from each period, featuring works by artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Pollock, Hockney, Kandinsky and Rauschenberg. Each of these is supported not just by the technical analysis, but also by a background essay on the artist, explaining why the example chosen is seminal to an understanding of his work and how it influenced others. -- from dust jacket.
