In the arenas of art and representation, the nineteenth century was a time of questioning, experimentation, discovery and modernization; artists challenged, as never before, prevailing definitions of art and the social order.This rich and diverse volume suggests that nineteenth-century art remains compelling today because its critical insights have rarely been surpassed. Nineteenth Century Art: A Critical History will interest students, specialists and anyone fascinated by this dynamic period." - Publisher.. Paperback. Good. 4to.
