Picasso to Warhol2011

Picasso to Warhol: Fourteen Modern Masters presents paintings, sculptures, drawings, multiples, photographs, and films by a selection of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Drawn from the exceptional collection of The Museum of Modern Art, the book highlights the century's key monuments, including Matisse's Dance (I), Picasso's Girl before a Mirror, Léger's Three Women, and John's Map. The volume offers a wide-ranging view of modernism's radical innovations, exploring the diverse ways that these artist's have broken with tradition, invented original visual languages, and adopted new forms and new materials. Fully illustrated in color, the publication includes close readings of work by each of the fourteen artists plus brief biographical sketches. -- from back cover.
