Horrible Textbook,
By
This review is from: Art Since 1900: Modernism, Antimodernism, Postmodernism: Volume 1: 1900 to 1944 (Paperback)
The vocabulary used in the textbook requires that you have a dictionary right next to you as you constantly need to refer to definitions. This book was required for my Modern Art class and was not worth the money I spent on it. Very boring read and leaves you wondering what has been read in the pages read.

student review,
By Katherine Larocca - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Art Since 1900: Modernism, Antimodernism, Postmodernism, Volume 1: 1900 to 1944 (College Text Edition with Art 20 CD-ROM) (Paperback)
This book was recommended for the senior-level art history course at the art academy I currently attend. Clear, erudite reading, followed by colorful reproductions and chronological tabs. The visual breakdowns are though-provoking, often raising more than one opinion of the piece. Elaboration on the artist, their backround, and their life really helps the reader understand the piece of art and the subject matter.

This review is from: Art Since 1900: Modernism, Antimodernism, Postmodernism: Volume 1: 1900 to 1944 (Paperback)
Forget Gardener, these four giants of art history compile an international picture. Each year is represented by an article. One can read the book chronologically, topically, or by author. If you have to read a survey of art history, this is it.

Fantastic book, though not very "pretty",

This review is from: Art Since 1900: Modernism, Antimodernism, Postmodernism: Volume 1: 1900 to 1944 (Paperback)
I am currently getting my bachelors in art history, and have a soft spot for beautiful books. The Art Since 1900 book was very useful in my modern art class, and fascinating to read. It does not read like a textbook. Rather, it is a series of essays regarding specific moments in modern art. The authors provide keys to link relevant essays without having to figure out the relations of time, place, and style. There are plenty of images, and the writing is very accessible for a beggining modernist. However, it is a paperback that is easily shelf-worn, and the book itself is not particularly beautiful, in comparison to many of the art history survey books that are out there.
