Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts: Malerei, Skulpturen und Objekte, Neue Medien, Fotografie.

by Karl Ruhrberg, Manfred Schneckenburger, Christiane Fricke

Wer hätte in der Silvesternacht 1899 gedacht, dass kaum hundert Jahre später Malerei und Bildhauerei nur noch eine Option von vielen Kunstformen sein werden? Der Kunstbegriff ist im Verlauf des letzten Jahrhunderts so oft neu formuliert und immer wieder anders besetzt worden; soziale, politische und technologische Revolutionen haben die Künstler und ihre Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten mitverändert.

TASCHENs ambitionierter Klassiker ist ein nützlicher Guide durch die Moderne Kunst. Egal, ob man Surrealismus, Land Art oder Fluxus nochmal kurz nachlesen möchte, oder Daten zu einem bestimmten Künstler sucht: Dieses Buch bietet schnell Zugang zu den wichtigsten Fakten.

Genres: Art, Nonfiction, Art History, History, Reference, Art Design

Read half of it. Its got lots of pretty pictures, but hard to read and make sense of text if you are coming to art without any background. It like walking into a casual conversation about the cousins of the people in the village you just moved into.

Good for browsing during a weekend at the lake. Informative. A bit dense (lots of text and small photos), would have liked larger graphics. I wonder when there will be a tremendous e-book with the same coverage but larger graphics.

It had so many typos and errors that it was frustrating to read.

The way you talk about your dreams ignites a fire in me. Let's explore them together, a little closer, under the moonlight.

Well rounded introduction into 20th century art. Quality reprints and diverse selection of works. I wasn't expecting so much text, but the writing is informative and interesting. There are a few small typographical errors that can be distracting, but they don't detract from the overall quality of the work.

Uno de los mejores libros introductorios sobre arte del siglo XX. El primer tomo que trata sobre la pintura es bastante completo, el segundo libro cojea un poco, pero la información es la suficiente para entender la escultura y el arte de medios no tradicionales.
El mayor problema para mí, es el tamaño de la letra, es pequeña

Zeer markant overzicht. Brengt orde in chaos en vertelt verhalen, dus essentie van kunst. Soms wat wollig en barok taalgebruik, maar dat doet niets af van de prima samenvatting van schilderkunst in de 20ste eeuw
