Encyclopedia of art for young people
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Celebrates the rich history of contemporary art spanning from World War II to the present. Art in postwar Europe reflected the politicval conflicts of the time as well as the horrors of the recent war. Many artists used abstraction to convey their themes. Later, Pop art arose from the consumer and popular culture o the 1960s. Now, the contemporary art scene is highly varied and more international and multimedia driven than ever before. The Encyclopedia of Art for Young People is an eight-volume set, arranged chronologically, that celebrates the rich history of art in an appealing and accessible format. Using full-colour reproductions of well-known masterpieces and providing in-depth coverage of the life and times of pivotal artists, this colourful new work is a solid introductory reference.

| Summary/Abstract |
The avant-garde movements of Dada and Surrealism continue to have a huge influence on cultural practice, especially in contemporary art, with its obsession with sexuality, fetishism, and shock tactics. In this new treatment of the subject, Hopkins focuses on the many debates surrounding these movements: the Marquis de Sade's Surrealist deification, issues of quality (How good is Dali?), the idea of the 'readymade', attitudes towards the city, the impact of Freud, attitudes to women, fetishism, and primitivism. The international nature of these movements is examined, covering the cities of Zurich, New York, Berlin, Cologne, Barcelona, Paris, London, and recently discovered examples in Eastern Europe.
