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 |
'To be an artist' is a conversation with today's successful and prominent artists from a variety of disciplines - musicians, visual artists, digital artists, poets, writers, activists and scholars. All of them discuss what it means to be an artist today, how they perceive their craft and their world, and the role of art in society. They agree that artists' creativity and success come not only from the intense focus of their craft, but, also from their development of a worldview - from their wider vision and understanding of the world in which they live.
