Understanding Modern Art

An updated edition of the pocket-sized guide to the 'isms' of modern art.

This is a handy guide to the art 'isms' of the modern day. From Impressionism and the birth of modern art to street art and Internationalism of the 21st century, it gives you a practical introduction to all the significant 'isms' that have shaped modern art history. For each 'ism', there is a clear definition, an introduction to the topic, lists of key artists, key words, and leading works from the movement, as well as references to other 'isms' that you might be interested in.

This new edition of the original bestselling title now includes four brand new chapters covering Archive Art, Neo-Formalism, Post-Internet Art and Virtual Reality.

This book is a must for anyone with an interest in modern art - whether you are an occasional visitor to galleries, an art student or art connoisseur.
