Art and Architecture of the 20th Century

Description

The global upheavals that took place over the course of the 20th century provoked an incredible metamorphosis of western art. The abundance of creative productivity during this century revolutionised the art world, breaking down boundaries and resulting in an extraordinary proliferation of artistic currents. In this brilliant work, the author presents the essential disciplines and different artistic movements that accompanied the political, cultural, ideological, and social upheavals of the 20th century.

For many years, Dr. Dorothea Eimert has led the Leopold Hoesch Museum in Duren, Germany. After studying art history, musicology, archeology and phonetics, she specialised in twentieth century art. She published extensively on many subjects such as Expressionism, Futurism, New Objectivity, Concret Art, Paper Art and contemporary art.
