N 7677 - Michael Tannock. Portuguese 20th Century Artists: A Biographical Dictionary When one thinks of 20th century art, the countries Spain, France, USA, England, even Germany and Holland will probably come to mind. Portugal is unlikely to be thought of. In fact you are probably hard-pressed to think of even one modern Portugese artist, which is a shame really, as there is a lot of vibrant art being produced there.Part of the problem is that there is little in the way of books on Portugese modern Art.This book is the exception. It covers more than 2,000 artists in the period 1900 to 1974, and is organized as a biographical dictionary. As a reference work on modern Portugese art, this book has no competitors. The information on each artist is factual, avoiding opinion and value judgement. Half the book is given over to photos of the works, including almost 100 color plates.If you are planning on visiting any galleries on your trip to Portugal, this book will be most useful, or if you simply want to explore a little known area of modern art, I would recommend it.Portes grátis
