He distinguishes two main trends in abstract art: the geometrical, structural current as it developed in Cubism and later in Constructivism and Mondrian, and the intuitional, decorative current running from Matisse and Fauvism through Kandinsky and, later, Surrealism. Richly illustrated with black and white photographs, diagram. 249pp. Glossy Illustrated SOFTCOVER. Previous owner's name neatly written on ffep. Else, clean, tight, and unmarked pages throughout.
