En savoir plus sur le livre

"This new Tate Gallery Companion, a beautifully produced record of the collections of one of the world's great art museums, is illustrated with more than 300 full-colour reproductions accompanied by a comprehensive commentary. Each of the thirty-four sections is introduced by a brief illustrated essay followed by individual discussion of up to five major works reproduced in large format. Written by Simon Wilson, Head of the Tate Gallery Education Department, the lively and approachable text covers five centuries of British and foreign art. It treats the present as continuous with the past, giving equal attention to the work of the historic old masters, to that of the established masters of the modern era and to the more controversial achievements of the most recent generation of artists."--Publisher's description.
