The second of four Open University books on modern art and its interpretation, covering art from about 1900 to the 1920s. Gill Perry's chapter examines primitivism and the modern, from rural artists' colonies in France and Germany to Matisse, the Fauves and the German Expressionists. Francis Frascina introduces semiotics and Cubism, and Charles Harrison's chapter on abstraction uses the careers of Kazimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian.
