Modern Architecture Since 1900
William J R Curtis

Phaidon Press, 1996

Hate to love it
I had to purchase this book as my required textbook for a Modernism class. Needless to say, when the quarter is over, this book is not getting resold! It's well bound, fabulous pictures, and very captivating reading. Yes, it's a textbook, but it's by Taschen and ...

Interior Design Since 1900, Third Edition (World of Art)
Anne Massey

Thames & Hudson, 2008

A Great Little Book
I am not a professional architect or designer, just a buff, but I thought this was a great overview of interior design since 1900. The text is cogent, and even though I sometimes wished the book was larger in format, the photographs are well chosen and very nicely ...

This book was recommended for the senior-level art history course at the art academy I currently attend. Clear, erudite reading, followed by colorful reproductions and chronological tabs. The visual breakdowns are though-provoking, often raising more than one opinion ...

American Art Since 1945 (World of Art)
David Joselit

Thames & Hudson, 2003

Drier Than It Should Be
American Art Since 1945 tackles a period of art that is drenched in social and cultural change. Post WW2 art forms are about breaking out, exploring, and defining new forms of creativity & expression. Yet this book is so dry and academic it fails to draw the reader in ...

Illuminating Book
I used this book when I was a student and have referred to it multiple times since I graduated. Simply said, I love it. It presents the work of artists of the major movements in a clear way, without the jargon that is so common in other art books. I would recommend ...

Kirk Varnedoe

Princeton University Press, 2006

Highly Recommended

Jonathan Harris, Francis Frascina, ...

Yale University Press, 1993

Russian Popular Culture: Entertainment and Society since 1900 (Cambridge Russian Paperbacks)
Richard Stites

Cambridge University Press, 1992

ends with the Soviet Union's end
The book's story ends around 1990, when the Soviet Union collapsed. In that sense, even the last section reads as from another time. Largely, thus, the book is an account of Soviet propaganda. Describing the various media campaigns instituted by the Kremlin to mobilise ...
