Modern Art is a global approach and a revision of the modern and contemporary art historical canon, focusing on works of art that visualize socio-political, economic, and cultural changes that took/are taking place in the world. This text features both enormously famous artists as well as those who have received little scholarly attention by art historians, serving as a more inclusive text than traditional examples."-Ashley Lindeman, Johnson County Community College
This is an excellent textbook on modern art with illuminating discussions and analyses of major art movements, themes, artists, and their works. Its articulation of art history concepts and terms is concise and easy for students to understand and follow. Its highly inclusive selection of artists and artworks makes it the best modern art text for college students so far."-Zhijian Qian, New York City College of Technology, CUNY
