| book description |

The period 1851 to 1929 witnessed the rise of the major European avant-garde groups: the Realists, Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, Symbolists, Cubists, and Surrealists. It was also a time of rapid social, economic, and political change, encompassing a revolution in communication systems and technology, and an unprecedented growth in the availability of printed images. This volume explores the aims and achievements, the beautiful and the bizarre, of artists such as Monet, Gauguin, Picasso and Dali, in relation to urban capitalism and expansion, colonialism, nationalism and internationalism, and the museum. The author traces common themes of representation, imagination, perception and sexuality across works in a wide range of media. The book is intended for students studying modern art history and art movements cultural and social history of late 19th and early-20th century Europe.
