AMERICAN ART SINCE 1945 (2003)
AMERICAN ART SINCE 1945 is a 2003 art movements book written by DAVID JOSELIT.
"No other introductory book presents the diversity and complexity of postwar American art from Abstract Expressionism to the present as clearly and succinctly as this groundbreaking survey. David Joselit traces and analyzes the often contradictory formal, ideological and political conditions during this period that made American art predominant throughout the world." "Social and cultural transformations rooted in mass media technologies - photography, television, video and the internet - elevated consumer commodities to the status of legitimate art subjects, as in Pop and Installation art, and also brought about a mechanization of the creative art. Canonical movements and figures are discussed - Pollock, Rothko, Krasner, Oldenburg, Johns, Warhol, Paik, Ruscha, Sherman, Holzer, Koons and Barney - in juxtaposition with lesser known contemporary artist and practices."--Jacket.
