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.

Text extracted from opening pages of book: alien leepa ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ART MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE THE CHALLENGE OF MODERN ART WITH A FOREWORD BY herbert read new york: the beechhiirst press COPYRIGHT, 1949, BY ALLEN LEEPA Printed in U. S. A. Manufactured for the publishers by American Book Stratford Press, Inc., New-York This book has been set in Caledonia type, with Bodoni Bold headings, printed on text paper manufactured by P. H. Glatfelter Co. Wove RRR and Warren's Cumberland Dull papers. Bound in Interlaken Winco cloth. First printing, 1949 Second printing, 1952 DESIGNED BY SIDNEY SOLOMON. to my mother THE SCIENCE of aesthetics was originally based on classical art even a contemporary philosopher of art like Croce never departs from the data of the Graeco-Roman and Renaissance tradition. Modern art, however, has made a decisive break with that tradition, and considerable confusion has been caused by the application to its products of criteria of judg ment derived from a past historical phase. Even in our private, unprofessional approach to modern art, we come unconsciously armed with such prejudices. What, therefore, was necessary was a complete revision of aesthetics on the basis of the ample material produced by the modern move ment in art, and this Mr. Allen Leepa has now provided. The material in question consists primarily of the works' of art themselves, and these, in significant selection, Mr. Leepa has subjected to a thorough functional analysis. But he realises that the explanation of art does not end with its formal dissection the function of art, as he says, is to ex press emotional meanings in the organized patterns of a medium/* and he has ventured on the muchmore difficult task of defining the nature of that psychological process. At this point formal analysis is of no avail, and what we fall back on is the artist's own description of his activity. Luckily modern artists have been surprisingly communicative, and Mr. Leepa has not failed to take advantage of the statements which, from time to time, artists like Picasso, Matisse, Klee and Mondrian have made. He has been aided in his under standing of what they mean ( which is not always clear) by FOREWORD his own practice as a painter, which has saved him from some of the simplifications which an outsider might be tempted to make for the sake of a neat system. Admirable, for example, is the way in which he insists, in Chapter X, on the mutual interaction of medium and idea in the process of creation. We are far too apt to think of the work of art as the illustration of a preconceived idea, instead of an organic growth in which idea only played the part of germ or seed. Particular attention should be given to all that Mr. Leepa has to say on the subject of abstract art, for which the average critic has hitherto reserved his most obstinate resis tance. In its various forms ( and there is a wide divergence of aim within the so-called abstract movement) this type of art does, of course, make the most decisive break with the classi cal or humanist tradition. It is to be observed, however, that it is precisely this type of art which lends itself to the formu lation of a coherent aesthetic; and though Mr. Leepa quite rightly insists on its individualistic and subjective nature, the final result would seem to be the discovery of archtypal forms of the widest social significance. The last point Iwould like to select for emphasis from a book so replete with interest is the firm way in which Mr. Leepa insists on the social significance of his subject. This he does most directly in his brilliant analysis of Picasso's Guernica, but nowhere in this book will those who would like to regard the modern movement in art as a reactionary or escapist activity find any support for their prejudice. We may freely condemn the age we live in and deplore its social iniquities, but it is pre cisely because he is the last man to have any illusions in this respect that the artist i

Drawing on a broad foundation in the history of nineteenth-century French art, Richard Shiff offers an innovative interpretation of Cézanne's painting. He shows how Cézanne's style met the emerging criteria of a "technique of originality" and how it satisfied critics sympathetic to symbolism as well as to impressionism. Expanding his study of the interaction of Cézanne and his critics, Shiff considers the problem of modern art in general. He locates the core of modernism in a dialectic of making (technique) and finding (originality). Ultimately, Shiff provides not only clarifying accounts of impressionism and symbolism but of a modern classicism as well.
