A fun introduction to the world of modern artists, from Albers to Zox,
via Basquiat, Kahlo, Warhol and more.
A striking, design-led reference book, A-Z Great Modern Artists
features Andy Tuohy's portraits of 52 key modern artists, rendered in
each artist's own characteristic style - including Aleksandr Rodchenko
in trademark green and red, Andy Warhol as a classic repeated print, and
Marc Quinn as a frozen blood head in a box.
With text by art historian Christopher Masters, each artist's entry will
also have a summary of the essential things you need to know about the
artist; their biographical details, why they're so significant, where
you can find their works today, and a surprising fact or two about them
as well as reproductions of key works.
Whether you're already an art expert, or looking for a helpful cheat to
navigating around a gallery, you'll love this guide to global artists of
the modern age.
Andy Tuohy is a graphic designer and worked in advertising for many
years before becoming a freelance artist/ designer. He has had design
work commissioned by the Tate Modern and Tate Liverpool, Turner
Contemporary and Henley Regatta, and has been featured in Design Week
amongst other publications.
