Twentieth-Century American Art

Book Summary by: Goodlin1975    

Original Author: Erika Doss
This book explores modern art in a new light. Every major art engagement ranging from the Chicago World Fair in 1893 to the
Whitney Biennial in 2000 is included in this art collage of pure brilliance. American contemporary art icons Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and Jasper Johns are contextualized in strict art terms accompanied with fascinating images that showcase their intriguing work. The Feminist Movement, Pop Art, New Negro and Abstract Expressionism leads the pack of influential art movements that shaped the culture of American Contemporary Art. Controversial, conventional and historical events parallel social issues to increase the magnitude of the art technique. This book caters to the enjoyment of intellectual art, art history, writing and film students, as well as for any art fan.

    This abstract was extremely helpful for my art history class. The writer included many important points in a short summary. The book is also stylish and has many wonderful images of American icon artists.
