The Story of Modern Art is firmly established as an outstanding introduction to the subject. Writing in a clear and direct style, Norbert Lynton aims at helping the reader to form a relaxed and confident relationship with modern art. He explores the challenges and dilemmas that faced artists at the turn of the nineteenth century, and shows that subsequent developments have been serious and intelligent efforts to create art that is both honest and significant. Modern art still perplexes many people and the author believes that the accounts offered in its support often make the problem worse by over-stressing innovation and the rejection of the past. He sees no essential break or opposition between modern art and the art of the past, and argues that more attention should be paid to the inner content of works of art and less to superficial labels. In this edition, The Story of Modern Artis brought right up to date, with a new chapter on the developments in both art and art criticism in the 1980s, updated and enlarged biographies and bibliography, and additional illustrations. Combining clearly presented factual information with penetrating analysis and judgement, it is an indispensable starting point for all those interested in the art of the last 100 years.… (mer)

It was - truly - like an opening world.
Ford Madox Ford, on the years before 1914

1. The new barbarians.
The close of the past century was full of a strange desire to get out of form ... I now feel an impulse to create form.

Inledande ord
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk.
This book, intended as much to help readers towards a confident relationship with modern art as to offer information about it, is indebted to countless books and articles (not all of them on art) but also, more particularly, to people.

Preface (October 1979).
The broad stream of art flows on.

Preface to the second edition (January 1989).
The historian of twentieth-centuary art faces special problems.

Introduction.
The approach of a new century invites thought of change, and 'twentieth century' has a millenial sound.

1. The new barbarians.
