A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
The decade before the First World War was the most exciting, frenetic, and revolutionary period in the history of art. It was the crucible of Modernism, when Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, and Abstract Art manifested. At the same time, the market for Old Masters flourished, and art became politicized in the face of the impending war.
What was the conventional art against which Modernism revolted? Why did avant-garde artists become so self-obsessed? What convinced some bold collectors to purchase challenging contemporary art? And why did others pay so much money for the Old Masters?
Art expert Philip Hook approaches the art of a unique and extreme decade with a unique perspective.
