Review by Kinsey for Art in Modern Culture (Open University Set Book)
Rating:
This book is a good resource for source materials on Modern Art. Usually anthologies give me the willies, but this one is quite comprehensive. I prefer to get my material directly from the source. This gives someone who is unfamiliar with art history a jumping off point for the more serious criticism about this time period in art.

Pungent and profoundly moving, the introductory sequences to these seminal essays establish new levels of critical consciousness in that melancholy discipline known as art history. Frascina and Harris, two of our most exalted and distinguished cultural historians, provide a comprehensive survey of the culture-politics interface in C20th society. Consistently devastating and endlessly locked into the real critical issues, this is essential reading for all students of modern visual culture.
