Review: One to read on a deserted island - This book is expensive but ends up repaying you back tremendously in the long run. Excellent paper material quality and typesetting very attractive. This is one book to carry on a deserted island. This is an anthology to treasure because it puts together extremely rare essays on art nowhere else in the current lexicon. Where else will you find essays by Trotsky on art criticism in politics? What about Max Weber's analysis of art? These by well known and not so well known authors makes for long reading sessions. The essays are grouped by thematic content and given well rounded introductions by the editors of the volume. A word of warning to the readers: do not take what is put in the volume at face value...which is a big temptation. The only way to really learn from this book is to challenge the authors and decide for yourself the merits of the analysis. Art theory is intellectually dense but extremely dangerous to accept without serious study. This book is a reference on art theory like no other in the world. So please do yourselves a favor and get this book before it's taken out of print. And when this book goes out of print thanks to the ipad and ebook craze putting book publishers out of business...you'll be very sorry you didn't get it when you could. Review: Wonderful intros to each section by the editors and a ... - A treasure trove of wisdom and insight regarding modern and postmodern art. Dense. Wonderful intros to each section by the editors and a vital collection of writings by artists and about their work. A must for any art student or, I imagine, collector or gallerist. Info you either need to know or need to have access to at your fingertips. Worth the price. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #922,541 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,105 in Art Movements (Books) #2,539 in Arts & Photography Criticism #3,859 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 338 Reviews | ## Images ![Art in Theory 1900 - 2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Jh2v82+wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One to read on a deserted island *by D***1 on September 26, 2010* This book is expensive but ends up repaying you back tremendously in the long run.

Dense. Wonderful intros to each section by the editors and a vital collection of writings by artists and about their work. A must for any art student or, I imagine, collector or gallerist. Info you either need to know or need to have access to at your fingertips. Worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive Text; Clear Discussion. *by G***D on November 11, 2015* Great research reference text that I've consulted several times now over the course of my graduate study essay writings. Theories are discussed both in broad and complex terms without an overabundance of jargon, and there is a great deal of attention paid to why the ideas dissected have changed in the first place. If you're in graduate school for anything even peripherally encompassing art and theory, I would highly recommend obtaining a copy of this book for consultation throughout your ongoing education. ## Frequently Bought Together - Art in Theory 1900 - 2000: An Anthology of Changing Ideas - Art in Theory: 1815-1900 An Anthology of Changing Ideas - Art in Theory 1648-1815: An Anthology of Changing Ideas --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5783817-art-in-theory-1900-2000-an-anthology-of-changing-ideas](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5783817-art-in-theory-1900-2000-an-anthology-of-changing-ideas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
