In this book John Canaday ( Art Critic, the New York Times ) sets out, in a very readable form, the major art movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe and America. He then looks at the styles of art including classicism, romanticism, and realism as continuing streams, all the while taking it back to the social origins of the art movements. Includes brief historical sketches of art techniques. . Size: 4to 9¾" - 12" tall. We are happy to provide pictures of this book on request Illustrator: Photographic. Quantity Available: 1.
