The most popular movements such as Surrealism, Expressionism, Pop art and Art Deco are discussed alongside recent experiments in new media - video art, land art and environmental art. Bringing a psychological perspective to the issues, the author argues that painting remains the first medium of the visual arts, in terms of its potential for innovation and influence on other art forms. Intended to be both authoritative and accessible, it makes use of anecdote while providing explanations of many potentially confusing terms. From pioneering artists, such as John White, to the pivotal Armory Show, the entries chart the evolution of artistic traditions in the emerging American nation. There are biographies, articles on styles and important art groups and city articles.
