The Shock of the New Art and the Century of Change

"The shock of the New combines style, wit, pertinent anecdote, critical poise and scholarship to provide an exhilarating history of a century of art that has puzzled, threatened and outraged its detractors - and captivated its admirers. Robert Hughes has written a major new chapter which not only brings us into the present with the story of the art that was modern, but confronts that art with a powerful challenge for its future."--BOOK COVER.
