In Vol. 1, "...the author presents some art movements that emerged after 1945. He explains some rules of perception and describes their component parts. First, a broad description of international antecedents and context is given, then the movement is presented along with some representative examples of Belgian artists, and numerous illustrations. The chapters do not succeed one another according to a strict chronological order. They are separate entities; each throwing some light on one aspect of an art history, from a variety of angles." -- Provided by publisher.
