5.0 out of 5 stars
Very insightful,
By melrose (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theories of Modern Art: A Source Book by Artists and Critics (Paperback)
Not only educational, but inspiring. I not only learned about each artist and what when on during their time of certain artworks, but I was able to get insdie their head. The words of the artist's in their letters were captivating. I was caught up in the reading. I especially enjoyed Matisse and Kandinsky. Kandinsky is very spiritual about his writing and gives a deep explanation of colors. Anyway, it is a great read. It was required for my history course, but I enjoyed it. Not very many in my class could understand what they were reading. I guess you not only need not just intellect, but sophistication. I liked it!

How often had I looked at a painting of Van Gough and wondered what exactly was this great man thinking when he conceived and painted such a picture. Now by reading thru this excellent book, I can claw into the mind of artists themselves.

facinating look into modern artists thoughts and beliefs,
By allismile0 "allismile0" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theories of Modern Art: A Source Book by Artists and Critics (Paperback)
Even if you are not interested in the arts but simply in thought process- I think you will find this book very interesting. You could say this is the history of modern art without pictures (although there are some pictures)- bringing the reader facinating insights into how different types of artists came to their philosophies of art, and of course, the world. Documented through personal letters, manifestos, and articles, the varity of different thoughts and beliefs catapolts just what art can be. To me it shows that art is a never ending universe of ideas- all connecting but all very individual just the same.
