Bridging the gap between art theory and art history, Modern Art: A Critical Introduction relates 20th century theories of art both to social history and artists of modernism and post-modernism.
This exciting textbook provides a lively introduction to modern and postmodern art.


Spanning a century of art from Manet to Hirst and Whitread, the authors follow the development to traditional genres, such as the female nude, and trace the emergence of new theories and approaches which fragmented modern art into a bewildering variety of 'isms' from Expressionism to post modernism.


The book:


*explores key themes of the modern era, such as the figure of the nude, the changing nature of self-expression, and the question of the display of art works
*covers the major art movements of the twentieth century
*relates artistic movements to their social and cultural contexts
*is richly illustrated with over 100 pictures.

Pam Meecham is a Senior Lecturer in Art and Design education and Route Leader of the PGCE at Liverpool John Moores University. Julie Sheldon is Programme Leader of the BA and MA Art History at Liverpool John Moores University.

What is and when was modernism?; monuments and the city; retreats from the urban; the female nude as the site of modernity; the "machine aesthetic" to "technoculture"; from adversarial culture to petrified modernism - American art at mid-century; the autobiographical body - self and identity politics in performance art and photography; the modern museum.
