Description: New York, The Museum of Modern Art, 2013. Hardcover. red cloth boards w/ blue printing. 144 pgs w/ 104 color, 33 duotone and 17 bw illustrations. color pictorial dustjacket w/ printing. Drawn from MoMA's collection, American Modern takes a fresh look at the Museum's holdings of American art made between 1915 and 1950, and considers the cultural preoccupations of a rapidly changing American society in the first half of the 20th century. Including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and sculptures, American Modern brings together some of the Museum's most celebrated masterworks, contextualizing them across mediums and amid lesser-seen but revelatory works by artists who expressed compelling emotional and visual tendencies of the time. The selection of works depicts subjects as diverse as urban and rural landscapes, scenes of industry, still-life compositions, and portraiture, and is organized thematically, with visual connections trumping strict chronology.--WorldCat. Near Fine. crease to spine top edge; light shelf-wear to lower cover edges. pgs clean & bright; nice sharp copy.
