The book started with the chapter explaining the history of Modernism, and throughout the last chapter on Post-modernism, the writers introduced influential Modernism artists such as Cezanne and Van Gogh. The writers also not only traced the evolution in paintings but also examples from sculpture and photography. The chapters on modern art movements in a chronological order will also help me better understand the evolve of Modernism. 

                This book would be helpful for my research because it talks particularly about Neo-Dada, Nouveau Réalisme and other movements followed upon 1900-2000. The book is mostly texts with some supporting colored images. It is very organized from the Nineteenth Century toward the Avant-garde movements, and ends with the Contemporary Period. The content is very detailed in explaining the characteristics of each movement with supporting artists and pictures. 

                  This book is good for the start because it talks about Modernism in general with focus on the art and modernity in the nineteenth century. Even though it does not provide a lot of supporting images in the book, the content is still being informative that would give me a general sense of Modernism. 

                  Explanation: The article describes Modernism in general in terms of the characteristics, movements and key facts. It would a good one to start off for my project. 

 

                  Explanation: The writings are easy to understand. The site provides extra related sources that allows me to explore on the topic of Modernism in depth. The page is very organized with texts and a good number of pictures.
