Art Since 1940: Strategies of Being

Front Cover
H.N. Abrams, 2000 - Art - 528 pages
"The year 1940 marks a defining moment in 20th-century art, when many artists of the European avant-garde moved en masse to New York. The city was instantly transformed into the art capital of the world, triggering radical changes of direction as artists, both immigrant and American-born, struggled with the reshuffled facts of their existence. For these artists, says Fineberg, making art was - as it continues to be for artists today - a strategy of coming to terms with their moment in history.".
