Description

Modern Art. a Graphic Guide by Dave Clarke and Julie Hollings. ' Much of the art of the last 100 years still causes bafflement, outrage and hilarity. For many, modern art is nothing more the incompetence 'I could have done that myself ... A child of six could do it better' - the fantastic price paid for it merely the result of art dealer's hype. In Modern Art: A Graphic Guide, Dave Clarke rejects the hype and argues that the best modern art is in fact a challenging response to the modern condition. He demonstrates how it is not only possible (and pleasurable) to 'read' the visual languages of modern art, but important that we do so. Brilliantly complemented by Julie Holling's acidly funny cartoons, Clarke translates the language and paintings of artist as diverse as Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Kandinsky, Heartfield and Pollock, and places their work firmly in its social context.
