Summary:

Almost every well-known painter and sculptor has created at least one book with original illustrations since the late 19th century. Publishers have engaged the imaginations of the finest writers, designers, printers and artists -- among them Picasso, Malevich, Kandinsky, Kokoschka and Matisse -- to collaborate on the creation of the vibrant publications created here in six sections: the evolution of the modern book in the decades before and after 1900; the momentum of Modernism in the twenties; the key role of Picasso; the influences of Dada, Surrealism, the Second World War and its aftermath; the shift of cultural power to the United States; and the new trends of the contemporary era.
