The first half of the 20th century saw the birth of the avant-garde movements, which marked an open break with institutional art and the society in which they were born. During this period, marked by two world wars, a new generation of artists challenged figuration, and even the very notion of a work of art. This guide is developed along three axes. The different artistic movements are described in the first chapter, from Art Nouveau to Concrete Art in Europe, including Japonism, the Golden Section, De Stijl, and muralism; the second establishes a "geography of art," highlighting European and American cities that were particularly active during this period; and the third, finally, presents fifty-nine notable artists, from Alexander Archipenko to Grant Wood, but also Marc Chagall, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo, Man Ray, and Chaim Soutine. Another volume in the Hazan Guides collection is devoted to the second half of the century: How to Look at Art in the 20th Century. Contemporary Art
