A fantastic overview of the History of Modern Art. It cover the 19th - 20th Century period. Covers Painting, Sculpture, Architecture and Photography. This covers a lot of different styles and movements for this period. This book will provide a very detailed overview of modern art for that time period. I did like the colour plates on Pages 74 and 75. I liked the Works of Kadinsky and the movements that I did enjoy reading about was Art Neaveau. I loved the sculptures that Picasso had created. Wonderful pictures
