The Making of Modern Art by Michael Peppiatt
A new collection of key texts from a leading critic of modern art
Every piece, even on long-dead artists, rings with vitality and presence…[T]his essential book encapsulates a moment in the history of art that feels distinctly alien now…it reads like first-hand reportage of a lost world”—Ben Street, Times Literary Supplement
