Modern Painting

""Modern Painting"" is a book written by George Moore that explores the world of contemporary art during the early 20th century. The book is divided into four parts, with each section focusing on a different aspect of modern painting. The first part discusses the origins of modern art and the influence of Impressionism on the movement. The second part delves into the work of individual artists, including C�����zanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. The third part examines the development of different styles, such as Fauvism, Cubism, and Futurism. The final part of the book looks at the role of art in society and the importance of artistic expression. Throughout the book, Moore provides insightful commentary on the artists and their work, as well as the broader cultural and historical context in which they were creating. ""Modern Painting"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art and the evolution of modern painting.No fact is more painful to the modern mind than that men are not born with equal brains; and every day we grow more and more determined to thwart Nature's desire of inequality by public education. Whether everybody should be taught to read and write I leave to politicians--the matter is not important; but that the nation should not be instructed in drawing, music, painting, and English literature I will never cease to maintain. Everything that has happened in England for the last thirty years goes to prove that systematised education in art means artistic decadence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
