With its sheer range of coverage, up-to-date perspective and copious illustrations this set of two books is a must for every art lover.

The 20th century not only debated, questioned and rejected the concept of art, but also defined and redefined it over and over, testing the possibilities.  It was a century of questions and inventions, of recluses and attention-getters.

This book is the first to attempt on such a scale to steer a way through the multitudinous shoals of styles, fashions and movements.
