" The dominant features of art movements in the last hundred years has been Abstraction, in its many modes, and the repudiation of artifice: the determination to eliminate the characteristics that distinguish art works from other artefacts from the natural objects. From the starting point Harold Osborne explores abstract art from Impressionism to the ultimate abolition of art objects brought about by the Conceptualists, and expounds the major trends of 20th-century art in a way not attempted before." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
