The Philosophy of Modern Art is a book written by Herbert Read, a British poet, critic, and philosopher. The book is a comprehensive study of the philosophical foundations of modern art and aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the art movements of the 20th century. Read explores the various philosophical ideas that have influenced modern art, including existentialism, phenomenology, and Marxism. He also discusses the role of the artist in society and the relationship between art and politics. The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific art movements, including cubism, futurism, surrealism, and abstract expressionism. Throughout the book, Read argues that modern art is a reflection of the social and political upheavals of the 20th century and that it has the power to challenge and transform society. The Philosophy of Modern Art is a seminal work in the field of art criticism and has been widely influential in shaping the discourse around modern art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
