| Summary: | Vol. 5 - The threshold of liberty : Surrealism was the last revolutionary art movement of the 20th century, much like a religion. Dali, Mire, and Magritte were striving to liberate the unconscious mind through fantasy/reality. Vol. 6 - The view from the edge : Figurative Expressionism was ruined by the realities of the Nazi death camps whose horrors surpassed distortions of the human body an artist could imagine. "Robert Hughes' history of modern art from cubism to pop and the avant-garde. The sequel to the BBC's Civilization series, picks up at the threshold of the 20th century. It is written and presented by Robert Hughes, art critic and senior writer for Time. Hughes draws on a wealth of documentary materials from the archives of the BBC, including rare footage and interviews with noted artists. The range of major figures includes Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, le Corbusier, Maz Ernst, Francis Bacon and Jackson Pollock."--Container. |
