Late modern: The visual arts since 1945

This new and augmented edition brings the history of the visual arts since the war forward to the events of the mid-1970's, and, in particular, to the shift of attention from the "art object" the the "art idea". The first good concise account of this subject to appear, Lucie-Smith's book has already established itself as a classic. It provides a clear, swift-moving narrative of the principal art movements of the past thirty years in the United States, England, France, and other countries.
