Trewin Copplestone - Modern Art Movements

An old book of my uncle's which has been lying around my room for years. Published in '62, revised in '67 (my paperback edition '72) - covers 20th century movements in what we traditionally think of as 'art' (ie, of the painted kind). No mention of abstract expressionism but I suppose there will always be quibbles with these kinds of survey works.

Accessible overview commentary and plenty of full colour plates - a good 'un and not noticeably dated. (Though there is the question of whether there has been a substantial 'art movement' which could be placed in the same tradition/lineage as those in this book since it was published - Pop Art comes naturally to mind, but to me that seems more of a clean break (not to mention infinitely more shallow - which is kinda the point, but that doesn't mean I have to like it), and likewise with various streams that could fall under the umbrella of 'postmodern art').

Examples:

Fauvism
Matisse - The Green Stripe



Cubism
Gris - Still Life in Front of an Open Window



Expressionism
Munch - The Dance Of Life



Futurism
Boccioni - Electricity



De Stijl
Mondrian - Composition



Surrealism
Dali - Premonition Of Civil War
