Description

This book deals with the recent theory and practice of art, and with the problems of modern art history and criticism.

The essays include a discussion on competing views of modernism in art, a consideration of the Conceptual Art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and an analysis of the artist's studio as a genre and studies of individual paintings.
