Summary:

"The aim of this substantial anthology is to equip the student, teacher and interested general reader with the materials for an up-to-date understanding of twentieth-century art." "Beside the writings of the century's major artists, Art in Theory includes relevant texts by critics, philosophers, politicians and literary figures. It is organized into eight sections, from the legacy of Symbolism at the turn of the century to contemporary debates about the Postmodern. Each section is prefaced by a brief essay. There are introductions for all of the 300-plus texts, so that theories and critical approaches are placed in context. The volume also includes an extensive bibliography. The result is both a comprehensive collection of documents on twentieth-century art and an encyclopaedic history of relevant theory."--BOOK JACKET.
