Long considered the survey of modern art, this engrossing and liberally illustrated text traces the development of trends and influences in painting, sculpture, photography and architecture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Retaining its encyclopedic nature and chronological approach, it now comes thoroughly reworked by Marla Prather, a leading 20th-century art curator at the National Gallery of Art, with refreshing new analyses, a considerably expanded picture program, and a more absorbing and unified narrative.
