Seller's Description:
Fine. 0900946822. First edition heavy quarto 448 pages profusely illustrated with colour plates. Fine folded card covers, no inscriptions or marks, an excellent copy. "A century ago, art was at a crossroads. Painters such as Sargent, Whistler, Homer, and Rouault were widely acclaimed. Cezanne, Degas, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rodin, Munch, Klimt, and other modern masters were in their prime. And the revolutionaries who would go on to change the course of Western art--Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Kandinsky, and Nolde, among others--were just getting started. This book, the companion volume to a major international exhibition, provides an eye-opening look at what these and other artists were creating in this watershed year. Organized by subject--from bathers, femmes fatales, and self-portraits to rural scenes, religion, and social comment--and featuring more than 300 colorplates, the book presents both famous and less well-known works. By including a wide range of paintings and sculptures executed at roughly the same time, Robert Rosenblum and MaryAnne Stevens illuminate the cultural crosscurrents that were reshaping Western art--including nationalism, psychology, and technology--and help us see familiar masterworks with a fresh eye.

Very Good with no dust jacket. 0900946822. With colour plates. Light bumping to spine corners. Slight wear to spine, covers and corners.; "1900: Art at the Crossroads" was a groundbreaking exhibition held at the Royal Academy of Arts, designed to encapsulate the diverse and dynamic art world as it stood at the dawn of the 20th century. This ambitious exhibition sought to explore the various artistic movements and styles that coexisted at this pivotal moment in history, showcasing works that ranged from the traditional to the avant-garde. One of the exhibition's most compelling aspects was its ability to illustrate the tension and dialogue between different artistic schools and philosophies. The show included works by artists who were at the forefront of the modernist movement, such as Pablo Picasso and Gustav Klimt, alongside those by artists adhering to more traditional styles, highlighting the rich tapestry of creativity and innovation that characterized the era. The curatorial approach of "1900: Art at the Crossroads" was particularly noteworthy. The exhibition was carefully curated to avoid a linear narrative, instead presenting the artworks in a manner that encouraged visitors to make their own connections and observations about the evolution of art at the turn of the century. This approach not only made the exhibition intellectually stimulating but also allowed for a more personal and immersive experience for the audience. The breadth of artworks on display was another highlight, featuring not only paintings but also sculptures, decorative arts, and architectural designs. This multidisciplinary selection emphasized the exhibition's theme of cross-pollination and convergence among different art forms and movements. It provided a holistic view of the artistic landscape of 1900, showcasing the interconnectedness of creativity across various disciplines. The exhibition also succeeded in drawing attention to lesser-known artists and movements, giving them the recognition they deserve alongside more established names. This inclusivity enriched the narrative of the exhibition, offering a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the period's artistic diversity. Critically, "1900: Art at the Crossroads" was acclaimed for its scholarly rigor and its appeal to both academic audiences and the general public. The accompanying catalogue served as an invaluable resource, containing essays and analyses that deepened the understanding of the themes and artworks presented. In summary, "1900: Art at the Crossroads" was an exemplary exhibition that captured the complexity and vibrancy of the art world at a moment of significant change. It not only showcased the artistic achievements of the era but also stimulated reflection on the nature of artistic innovation and the perennial dialogue between tradition and modernity. Through its inclusive and thoughtful presentation, the exhibition offered a profound insight into the crossroads at which art found itself at the dawn of the 20th century, making it a milestone in the history of art exhibitions.; Quarto; 448 pages.
