Seldom has the artistic output of one country had so far-reaching and immediate an impact as American art during the twentieth century. With ever-increasing momentum, painting and sculpture in the United States departed from the poetic realism of the nineteenth century, incorporated Impressionism and assimilated Cubist experimentation, paused briefly to explore social realism in the Depression decades, and then plunged into Abstract Expressionism with such vitality and innovation that American influence now dominates modern art.In this critical history of American painting and sculpture since 1900, the artists, movements and events that led up to America's emergence as a leading force in the world of art are covered in depth. "The Eight", the 1913 Armory Show (America's dramatic and controversial introduction to modern art), the painters associated with photographer and dealer Alfred Stieglitz (Marin, Dove, Demuth, Weber, Hartley and O'Keeffe), and the traditional modernists such as Stuart Davis and Alexander Calder, are just a few of the many fascinating men and movements described. More than half of this volume is devoted to art in the United States since 1945, and includes careful analyses of such styles as Action Painting, Hard Edge Painting, Pop Art, Mini- malism, Assemblage, Happenings, Earthworks, Kineticism, Conceptual Art and Bodyworks. These discussions are accompanied by rich accounts of such contemporary masters as Pollock, De Kooning, Rothko, Johns, Lichtenstein, Stella, Noland, Morris, Judd, Smithson and many others.
