This " Paths to Abstraction 1867 - 1917 " rare first edition lithograph print hardcover Modernism exhibition art book is an incredibly special and unique book to add to your library collection.
The hardcover art book with black linen covered boards, cover and spine embossed titles, and dust jacket is published by The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney Australia in conjunction with Prestel Publishing New York, and Thames & Hudson London. Printed in 2010 on the occasion of the exhibition It features a survey collection of The Abstract Art Movement, with compelling accompanied essays authored by editor Terence Maloon, Edmund Capon, Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Richard Shiff, and Annegreat Hoberg.
This beautiful volume a survey of five decades of Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Abstract Art chronicles the evolution of the movement that the book argues was the inevitable precursor to Modernism. Filled with gorgeous full-page reproductions as well as stunning details of some of the most influential Abstract paintings of this time period.
This important book follows the broad and diverse ways that painters such as Whistler, Monet, Cezanne, Vuillard, Derain, Picasso, and Braque learned from each other as they embarked on an entirely new kind of expression. Informative and fascinating essays explore how these artists arrived at such a convergence ; why Abstract Art took root so quickly ; and why has it never been singled out by critics of historians as an independent art movement. This beautifully produced volume illustrates how Abstraction arose directly from a tradition of speculation about the nature of art and esthetic experience.
Included in the book are artworks by more than forty of the most influential Abstract artists including hans Jean Arp, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Paul Cezanne, Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Maurice Denis, Andre Derain, Paul Gauguin, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Frantisek Kupka, Fernand Leger, Franz Marc, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Hans Richter, Edouard Vuillard, and James Abbot McNeill Whistler among many others.
