Testo in Inglese. 

Reproductions from the collection are accompanied by brief discussions of the artists' styles and careers.The main strengths of the collection are concentrated on the form language of the French Cubists and its subsequent transformations in the hands of the Dutch Neo-Plasticists, the Russian Constructivists and the Italian Futurists. Also on the transition from the pioneers of abstraction to the more recent abstract sensibilities that emerged between the two world wars; the imagery of Dada and Surrealism and, finally, upon the early creative intuitions of the postwar European and American generation. The handbook is organised chronologically. Tracce d'uso alla copertina. (ME-D)
