Summary: Don't even go near this one without a BIG Dictionary.
Comment: I just completed a college course with this book as the chosen Textbook. The writing was of a much more advanced nature and it actually seemed like it should have been for a more advanced course. Like the title of this review says, you get an advanced English lesson also. It's mainly an Education book, so it probably should be geared more to the Student-through-expert levels. Like most books on art, it is a shame that so many illustrations are in Black & White. It's a cost thing I suppose. The information and opinions were well balanced. The text also has very little unnecessary "Fluff" fillers. I would have no intention of selling the book or trading it away. It's a keeper.

Summary: The Best approach
Comment: Everybody knows the boring of reading introduction material about art. It's always more of the same. Because of that I suspected very much this book with its "open title"... No reason for that: Modern Art is a careful work about 20th century aesthetics, crossing an open and contextual perspective with closed analysis of key works. And best of all, the synthetic approach of painting, sculpture and architecture is very well balanced and justified. It's not a book, but a very good surprise as both an introduction as a very deep analysis of 20th century art.

Summary: for academic use only!
Comment: this text was required reading for an uper division Modern Art History course i have taken, which requires no prerequisites. the book, however, certainly assumes previous indepth knowledge of topic. overall, a very informative, technical book.
