From the explosive birth of Cubism and Surrealism to the cool detachment of Minimalism and the provocative gestures of Conceptual art, this volume chronicles the full sweep of modernism's grand experiment, presenting each artist through a defining masterwork alongside an incisive, expertly written commentary. Organised alphabetically, the format democratises the canon, placing the celebrated alongside the overlooked and inviting the reader to forge unexpected connections across movements, decades, and continents.\n\nPhaidon's editorial vision is authoritative yet accessible, stripping away academic pretension to offer a volume that instructs the curious newcomer while rewarding the seasoned scholar in equal measure. The concise yet illuminating texts argue for the relevance of each work, situating it within its historical moment and tracing its influence on the art that followed. A companion volume to Phaidon's celebrated The Art Book, this is an essential cornerstone for any serious art library — and a testament to the radical, restless creativity that made the twentieth century unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609657217243,"sku":"2026100010765-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6ead1b95-f106-499f-8e16-cf86fe9a2aed.png?v=1791764405","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010765-secondhand-the-20th-century-art-book","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
