Art Attack: A Short Cultural History of the Avant-Garde

192 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-395-79729-2
(3) YA A brainy, if occasionally pedantic, introduction to the avant-garde goes from Paris in the 1830s to the internet of the 1990s, exploring innovations and controversies in painting, sculpture, music, and literature. Plentiful black-and-white photos (Manet's 'Luncheon on the Grass', Duchamp's urinal, Warhol's Marilyns) show readers what the fuss was all about. Bib., ind.
