Painting in the Twentieth Century
By Professor Werner Haftmann

Soft Cover, Praeger, 1965 (7th printing 1972), 443 Pages
Used, cover worn, underlining in book.

The aesthetic revolution at the beginning of this century that brought 
the great Renaissance cycle to an end, and the subsequent stylistic 
experiments and trends of our own era, are brilliantly analyzed in this 
definitive history of modern painting. "The most successful attempt I 
have seen at establishing the correct historical contours of the modern 
movement," wrote The Reporter when Werner Haftmann's work was first 
published in a hardcover edition, in 1961. "In historical scope, 
intellectual energy, and factual inclusiveness, we have had nothing like 
it before." Starting with the initiators, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and 
Gauguin, Dr. Haftmann examines in detail the artists themselves, their 
lives and theories, and defines the ideas underlying all the art 
movements of our time, including Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, 
Orphism, Futurism, and Abstract Expressionism. Appearing for the first 
time in a paperback edition (with its companion illustrated volume), 
this book has been described bythe Library Journal as "the most detailed 
history of the ideas and philosophies of modern art existing."

The Author: Professor Werner Haftmann, one of the foremost art 
historians of our time, has written numerous books on modern art. He is 
one of the chief architects of the Documenta exhibitions in Kassel and 
was on the Jury of Award for the Guggenheim International Award 1964.
