Product detailed description
How to Read a Modern Painting by Jonathan Thompson unravels the complex themes and characteristics of modern painting that can intimidate laymen. The author comprehensively examines more than 200 important paintings, from the Barbizon school and realism of the second half of the 19th century to the explosive experiments of the avant-garde of the 1980s.
Thompson analyzes the works of key artists – Bonnard, Van Gogh, Picasso, Pollock, Rauschenberg, Warhol, and Basquiat – and explains how their choice of artistic means and hidden symbols shape the message of each painting.
Practical explanations of techniques and meanings make this book an indispensable guide for art lovers and students who want to delve into the world of modern visual art.
