A Concise History of Modern Painting

A Concise History of Modern Painting
Library Shelf Location 20.READ
Publication Date 1974
Description A comprehensive history of modern painting is not at present possible, if only for the reason that such history has not yet reached the end of its development. But it did seem worth while to attempt, for the general public and within the strict time limits set by the publisher, a concise amount of the movements which together constitute the extremely complex change that has taken place in the art of painting during the past half-century.
