Subtitle: An Unfinished Story Author: [English] Will Gomperz Translator: Wang Shuo / Wang Tongle Publisher: Guangxi Normal University Press



What do you need to know to master the rules of the game in modern art? ——Including nearly a hundred artists and their representative works, it sorts out the origin and evolution of more than 20 modern art schools, and outlines the development process of modern art. What happened to art in the past 150 years? Why is it that today, something that a five-year-old child can tinker with is actually a masterpiece in the history of art?

Is this art? This has to be art! ——Malevich's black square, Mondrian's colorful grid, Duchamp's urinal... Art no longer has to be about beauty, it's more about ideas. After uncovering the mysteries of those grotesque and varied art schools, they are actually surprisingly simple, yet wonderful and even great.

If we can vaguely recognize the "original" appearance of art from Monet's "Sunrise" and Van Gogh's "Starry Night" more than 150 years ago, then Andy Waugh 150 years later Hall's cans of Soup Soup, Damien Hirst's pickled shark, and Tracey Emin's messy bed are enough to show us other possibilities for art. Looking back on the rebellious road of modern art for a century and a half, we have witnessed how generations of people have become more rebellious, bold and chaotic. Behind this is the artist's endless questioning of "what is art", and their response and resistance to the world around them. The story of modern art continues, and may never be finished.
