Art Since 1940 (3rd Edition)

The premise of this book is that artists use their art to think about their experience; it gives them a language in which to work out a way of existing in the world. So the front and back of the cover are illustrated with some of the great artists featured in the book doing their work. FRONT COVER: 1.
