内容简介
Published in conjunction with an exhibition of
masterworks from The Museum of Modern Art at the High Museum,
Atlanta, this catalogue features artwork produced during six key
years between 1913 and 2013. Concentrating on groundbreaking
moments when major modern movements and radical new strategies
emerged, the book provides an overview of the innovations and
achievements of the last century, including the new visual
languages of Cubism and Futurism (1913), the convergence of
Surrealism and New Vision photography between the wars (1929), the
large-scale abstract painting of midcentury (1950), the merging of
art and life in the early 1960s (1961) and the embrace of identity
politics and appropriation by artists in the late 1980s (1988). A
series of new commissions by three contemporary artists represents
the art of the present moment. Each of the six richly illustrated
sections features a close reading of one major work from the
period, complemented by an exploration of that year's aesthetic
zeitgeist.
