Andy Warhol (MoMA Artist Series) Details
Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Andy Warhol each significantly shaped the development of art in the twentieth century. These Modern masters are the subjects of four small books, the first volumes in a series featuring important artists in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. Each book presents a single artist and guides readers through a dozen of his most memorable achievements. Works are reproduced in color and accompanied by informative and accessible short essays that provide background on the artworks and on the artist himself, illuminating technique, style, subject matter and significance. Written by Carolyn Lanchner, former Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum, these books are excellent resources for readers interested in the stories behind masterpieces of the Modern canon and for those who wish to understand the contributions of individual artists to the history of Modern art. This volume focuses on Warhol.
Reviews
I am an artist, my last year of highschool my art teacher told me to research about Andy Warhol in the hopes it may spark creativity ideas into my work. My first year of attending art college (2 and + half years ago) the first book I found in the library was this and since then I didn't want to give it back. This book became an ultra source of inspiration for me and and I didn't really know who Andy Warhol really was and about his work until I read this. I'm extremely big on pop culture and didn't know how much I would related to Andy's work. I searched many book stores/dealers for the longest to find it but couldn't or the price was to high for my budget. The condition of the book for the price I bought to for from this dealer (HookedonBooksPA) was beyond my expectation! It seems to be read once and way better condition than when I read it from the library! I want to thank you HookedonBooksPA very much!!! I appreciated the little thank you note on the receipt plus the adding of "Swiss" to my last name on the package as well ;D haha.
