There are not enough superlatives to express the usefulness, scope, ambition, and execution of this book. It's a mighty tome. Alas, it's pricey, too - but worth every penny. History of Modern Art is a must-have for serious art lovers and/or historians. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 013184069X, Paperback)

For undergraduate course in Modern Art, Origins of Modernism, Art Since 1945, Contemporary Art and other courses focusing on art in the 20th century. 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 comprehensive nature and chronological approach, it now comes thoroughly reworked by Michael Bird, an experienced art history editor and writer, with refreshing new analyses, a considerably expanded picture program, and a more absorbing and unified narrative.
