L'aventure de l'art Moderne by Nicolas Martin

The adventure of modern art began about 150 years ago. A new world was being born. A world in full upheaval, a world where, under the effect of the Industrial Revolution, life has profoundly changed and new landscapes have appeared, invaded by the smoke of factories, transformed by large cities, crossed by railroads.

This new world in perpetual motion ignited the imagination of artists: they were inspired by it, but also and above all proposed new ways of representing it.

From Monet to Picasso, through Van Gogh, Matisse, Gauguin or Kandinsky, this book tells us about this fabulous adventure by allowing young readers to discover the main masterpieces of this glorious period of Western art.
