Summary:
Tomado de Amazon: "The concept of the beautiful has undergone profound changes during the
last half of the twentieth century, as has our way of considering
everything that is called art. We need a new key to help us "know how to
see" so that we can stay attuned to what is going on in the
contemporary world of art where new aesthetic styles are appearing and
being challenged one after the other. This book by Lea Vergine, which
discusses seventeen different art movements in separate chapters,
offers, within the panorama of contemporary art criticism books, a blend
between a handy art-history manual and an assessment of a cultural
adventure that has passed through and overturned the parameters of taste
of the last forty years. The clear and incisive writing style guides
the reader, student or specialist, whatever his or her specific
interests and curiosities, like an essential travel kit for
understanding today's reality, grasping its raison d'etre, and above
all, plunging into its multiple mutations." --
