Beginning with the Barbizon school and the Realist movement of the mid-19th century and continuing through the 1980s avant-garde, artists including Bonnard, Basquiat, Van Gogh, Picasso, Degas, Warhol, and Whistler are featured. Thompson describes each artist?s use of media and symbolism and provides insightful biographical information. A natural companion to Abrams? How to Read a Painting, this book is a vibrant, informative trip through one of art history?s most compelling periods. Read More
