TASCHEN BOOKS - ABSTRACT ART (Basic Art Series)

The 20th century saw art go abstract. Where once clear certainties and indisputable forms prevailed, now anarchy seemed to reign supreme. Sensibilities diffused into strange new shapes, colours assumed new significance, lines abandoned literal meaning. Discover some of the most dynamic and progressive art of modernity.
