Description
Modernist ideas have pervaded every form of design, from graphics to architecture, as well as being a key influence on art, literature and music.
In this fully illustrated and comprehensive survey, Richard Weston traces the course of Modernism from its beginnings to its contemporary manifestations.
He explores the Modernist movements of the early twentieth century - Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Purism - and concludes with the 'post-modernist' experiments of the 1980s and 1990s.
He shows how the 'tradition of the new' became the creative credo of a small group of artists and how, with the emigration of leading German modernists to Britain and the USA in the 1930s, the theory and practice of Modernism became widespread.
What had began as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered accross Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century
