Description

This series offers a complete, up-to-date survey of the artistic culture of the twentieth century and the first years of the new millennium through an original, transversal and interdisciplinary analysis. This special edition of the series gathers the five volumes into an exclusive slipcase inspired by a masterpiece that significantly marked the art of the twentieth century. The books provide an extraordinary repertory of images and a vast source of information, enriched through "focus on" windows and technical information by experts in the field. The essays investigate and analyse in chronological order the transformations of the world's artistic culture, the major personalities and the different movements that have characterized the development of modern and contemporary art. Roughly 2000 pages and a considerable number of illustrations provide a broad and composite overview of movements, artists, works and cultural phenomena, in an extraordinary publication that examines in depth the tendencies of modern and contemporary art.
