Description
A new edition of the bestselling introduction to the 'isms' of art.
This is an easy-to-use guide to a wide range of art 'isms'. From the 'isms' of the Renaissance to the 'isms' of the present day, it gives you a practical introduction to all the significant 'isms' that have shaped art history. For each 'ism', there is a definition, an introduction to the topic, lists of key artists, keywords, and major works as well as suggestions of other 'isms' that you might be interested in.
This is a new edition of the original bestselling title which now includes four brand-new chapters covering Digitalism, Activism, Superflat and Internationalism.
This book is a must for everyone who is interested in art - whether you are a Sunday afternoon art gallery visitor, art student or already an art connoisseur.
