From Library Journal
Accessible and solid scholarship has been the hallmark of the revived "Pelican History of Art" series, and Green (history of art, Courtauld Inst., London; Juan Gris, LJ 5/1/93), an undisputed expert in the field, continues the tradition with this latest installment. The intense, far-reaching text covers four tumultuous decades, from the Exposition Universelle of 1900 to the German invasion of France in World War II. Discussions of major artists and the avant-garde's many -isms and schisms are balanced by sections on dealers, collectors, lesser-known women artists, critics, art institutions, foreign influences, and the period's volatile social and political history. The documentation and select bibliography are superb. The reproductions are numerous but often small and in black and white only. There is much to learn and admire here, and the work is of value as both an upper-division textbook and an authoritative overview. Highly recommended for academic and institutional libraries.

Book Description
During the decades from 1900 to 1940, art in France developed in ways that were of paramount importance to twentieth-century art. This innovative and abundantly illustrated book sets these developments within the framework of the unstable social, political, intellectual, and artistic worlds of the time and analyzes the innovations of artists ranging from Matisse to Picasso, Duchamp to Dalí.Yale University Press Pelican History of Art
Reader Reviews
Art In France 1900-1940 examines the rise of modern art in France, from notable movements within the art world which brought new approaches to art to developments which changed the social and political face of French history. Art In France 1900-1940 considers art achievements within the context of French history and culture, providing important connections between changes in the art world and changes in the social arena. Black and white and color photos pepper the display, but it's the focus on art history which makes this a special presentation.
