About this copy
Roy McMullen's wide-ranging survey traces how the arts of the twentieth century were shaped by economic, social, intellectual and technological upheaval. Drawing on his years as a contributing editor of Art News and his role as fine arts consultant to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, he moves from music, poetry and drama through painting, sculpture, the novel and the cinema, closing with a look at where art may head in the twenty-first century. It is a stimulating read for anyone curious about modern art and culture.
This copy is a sound hardback, complete with its original dust jacket bearing the bold red and black design by Gerald Cinamon. It was issued as one of the Britannica Perspectives commemorating the 200th anniversary of Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Condition
- Book
- Good – a firm, sound hardback with clean boards and a secure binding. A pencilled price note appears on the flyleaf.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – the jacket shows wear with scuffing and surface scratches, and some chipping and loss at the top edge and spine ends. The printed price (40s Net) is intact and unclipped.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
