Inventing Abstraction  published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art  celebrates the centennial of this bold new type of artwork. It traces the development of abstraction as it moved through a network of modern artists  from Marsden Hartley and Marcel Duchamp to Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich  sweeping across nations and across media. This richly illustrated publication covers a wide range of artistic production--including paintings  drawings  books  sculptures  film  photography  sound poetry  atonal music and non-narrative dance--to draw a cross-media portrait of these watershed years. An introductory essay by Leah Dickerman  Curator in the Museums Department of Painting and Sculpture  is followed by focused studies of key groups of works  events and critical issues in abstractions early history by renowned scholars from a variety of fields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666039693365,"sku":"ByrdShop_0870708287","price":78.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780870708282.jpg?v=1782416422","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/inventing-abstraction-19101925-9780870708282","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
