Product detailed description
Modern Art in Detail: 75 Masterpieces by Susie Hodge highlights subtle elements and technical tricks in 75 masterpieces, from van Gogh's church in Auvers-sur-Oise to Duchamp's Bride to Jeff Koons. The book shows why a single superficial encounter is often not enough and how the context of a work, including technology, politics, and intellectual movements, enriches the experience of art.
Each work is presented with expert commentary that reveals hidden details, symbolism, and the artist's technique. In addition to analyzing the paintings and sculptures themselves, the book also examines external influences – from Cubism and Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art and the contemporary installations of Theaster Gates.
Engaging essays connect the historical development of art with personal and global factors – including political events and scientific theories – and show how modern art has shifted from the predominance of technique to the dominance of ideas.
