Art Speak: A Guide to Contemporary Ideas, Movements, and Buzzwords

This little volume contains nearly 120 entries which clearly explain the who, what, where, and when of American and European art since 1945. Fifty-six black-and-white illustrations enliven the text, and 28 color plates are interwoven with an invaluable timeline of world and art world events from 1945 to 1996. A one-page ArtChart provides a handy overview of the major art movements during the same period.
