Art of the twentieth century : a reader / edited by Jason Gaiger and Paul Wood

"This volume accompanies the Open University course Art of the twentieth century"

Includes bibliographical references and index

This book examines the fundamental changes that have taken place in the concepts of art during the 20th century. The "Course Reader" consists principally of writings by art historians and art theorists, originally published as free-standing essays or chapters in books, and gives readers access to a wide range of different authorial voices and perspectives on art beyond those explored in the four accompanying course texts. Drawing on material relating to the rest of the course, the book reflects the diversity of art-historical interpretations and of different theoretical approaches to 20th century art
