A History of Modern Art reaches back to the first stirrings of a new approach to art. It begins with a thorough account of the influential nineteenth century academics, romanticism and realism, then with the impressionists and post-impressionists it provides a detailed analysis of what was accomplished and how this breakthrough prepared the way for subsequent innovations. After this initial revolutionary phase the inventiveness of great talents was unleashed. They developed artistic modes, fauvism, cubism, expressionism, futurism that demanded new ways of seeing and fresh concepts of the nature, materials and functions of art.
