内容説明
This Tiny Folio book highlights some of the most celebrated European and American paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that are part of the permanent collection at The Art Institute of Chicago.
Included in this collection are numerous masterpieces of Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, and other aspects of Modernism. Today a number of these paintings are revered as icons of modern Western culture, emblems of the inspired experimentation that has taken place on both sides of the Atlantic.
For the last century, the Art Institute has supported the achievements of the most distinguished artists from Europe and America, acquiring and exhibiting now-beloved works of Edgar Degas, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, and others. This folio is presented as both an introduction to this collection and as a survey of the styles, subjects, and themes of Western art of the last two centuries, from the linear classicism of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres through the optical studies of Claude Monet and the Impressionists; from the lyrical, colourful abstractions of Vasily Kandinsky to the fractured picture planes of Pablo Picasso and the Cubists; from the enigmatic compositions of Salvador Dali and the Surrealists to the media-appropriated Pop-art portraits of Andy Warhol. These magnificent paintings eloquently narrate the discussions of the nature of art, quality, innovation, style, and form that have defined the modern era in art history.

内容説明
With this attractively designed little volume, even the most confirmed armchair traveller can tour one of the world's finest art collections. The 300 full-colour illustrations have been carefully chosen by the museum's director to highlight the very best of this outstanding collection. The Art Institute of Chicago houses some of the most celebrated European and American paintings of the 19th and 20th centuries. Included in this collection are many of the best-loved and most recognized masterpieces of Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Abstraction, Surrealism, and Modernism. Among the European works featured in this volume are Monet's Waterlines (1906), Seurat's manifesto of Pointillism, Sunday Afternoon on La Grande jatte (1884), Kandinsky's lyrical early abstraction, Landscape with two Poplars (1912), Picasso's Cubist portrait of art dealer Daniel-Henri Kahnweiler (1910), and Magritte's riveting Time Transfixed (1938).
Besides Grant Wood's famous homage to rural Americana, American Gothic (1930), the American paintings include Coles's majestic Niagara Falls (1830), O'Keeffe's glowing Cow's Skull with Calico Roses (1931), Hopper's haunting Nighthawks (1942), and Pollock's inspired abstract-expressionist Graved Rainbow (1953). The painting of the late 20th century is also well represented with exceptional works by Andy Warhol, Richard Diebenkorn, Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer, and others. In his preface, James Wood traces the history of the museum and discusses the aesthetic trends that have shaped the course of Western painting during the last two centuries. James Wood is Director of The Art Institute of Chicago.
