The history of art, as it evolved after World War II, is an important chapter of the global cultural heritage. Europe and the United States of America were at the forefront of charting the new paths that artists followed after 1945.
In the second half of the 20th century, art became inventive and rich in modes of expression, yet simultaneously difficult and enigmatic. Movements and trends emerged that contain elements from both representation and abstraction.
Through the pages of the book History of Art Since 1945, presented in five sections, artistic events are showcased with clear language, scientifically substantiated, and with rich illustrations. The book is not only aimed at students interested in studying this period but also at non-specialists, those who wonder when faced with a contemporary artistic creation, "But is this work considered art?"
In chronological order, the book presents, in five major sections, the various artistic trends - Abstraction, Expressionism, Realism, and many other visual avant-gardes - as well as their representatives. In addition to foreign creators, it also references Greek visual artists whose work fits into a broader internationalized context.
