About this Item

Objects of Desire . The Modern Still Life. The Museum of Modern Art / Abrams, New York 1997. 4to. 232 S. mit 147 (131 farb.) Abb., Ln. SU. - Guter bis sehr guter Zustand. .lappentext: Objects of Desire: The Modern Still Life is an incisive exploration of the still life genre as artists have rediscovered and reshaped it in the twentieth century. The innovative purpose of so much of the art of these years has led to a sense of the period as quite hostile to older aesthetic conventions, many of which were widely attacked and abandoned; yet from the century's first decade to the present day, from Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse through to Cindy Sherman and Charles Ray, artists of many schools have made of the still life a vital opportunity for invention.
