The book covers the major movements and artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. Moore provides insightful analysis of the techniques, styles, and themes of each movement, as well as the social and cultural contexts in which they emerged.

The book features numerous illustrations of iconic paintings and sculptures, making it a visually engaging and informative resource for art lovers and students alike. Overall, ""Modern Painting"" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and significance of modern art.No fact is more painful to the modern mind than that men are not born with equal brains; and every day we grow more and more determined to thwart Nature's desire of inequality by public education. Whether everybody should be taught to read and write I leave to politicians--the matter is not important; but that the nation should not be instructed in drawing, music, painting, and English literature I will never cease to maintain. Everything that has happened in England for the last thirty years goes to prove that systematised education in art means artistic decadence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
