New York: Museum of Modern Art, Date: 2005. Hardbound. VG+. Color illustrated boards. 228 pp., 5 bw and 160 color plates. "Visual art in the years following the end of World War II witnessed enormous transformations, and drawing - among the most traditional of mediums - provides a powerful device for reexamining the art of this period. Drawing from the Modern, 1945-1975 is the second in a three-volume series surveying 125 years of modern drawing through The Museum of Modern Art's unparalleled collection of works on paper." "Included here is the work of nearly one hundred artists who helped define the role of drawing in postwar art: from Jackson Pollock's fluid, expansive gesture that resulted in some of the most resolutely abstract works in the history of art to the provocative synthesis of writing and drawing seen in Cy Twombly's graffiti-like scrawls and Joseph Beuys's socially and politically charged markings; from the iconic images distilled from cartoons, advertising, and mass media by Pop masters Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein to the use of rational systems to generate elegant and complex works, as seen most notably in the methods employed by Sol LeWitt and Agnes Martin. Despite the radical departures in art from this era, artists continued to turn to this most fundamental of art forms to challenge and invigorate their conception of modernism."--Back of book Published to accompany the exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, 29 March to 29 August ...
