Author Description

"I can think of no better way... to more efficiently and compactly review the ambitious, ingenious, irreverent, and sometimes exasperating art of our time." -Art Journal Widely praised when it first appeared in 1995, Art Since 1940 tells the story of six decades of art in America and Europe through a series of in-depth biographical profiles of individual artists, astutely linked by illuminating discussions of the cultural influences on their work. Artnews hailed this lively volume as "a fascinating book" by "a superb critic and art historian." For this Second Edition, the author adds a new final chapter and extensively reworks the last quarter of the book to incorporate current thinking on the art of the last 20 years. 351 photographs, 246 in full color, 8 1/2 x 11" JONATHAN FINEBERG, winner of a Pulitzer Fellowship for critical writing and author of scores of articles, books, and catalogues on modern and contemporary art, is professor of art history at the University of Illinois.
