Bibliography

  • Meecham, P.& Sheldon, J. (2000) ‘Modern Art: A Critical Introduction’, London, Open University Press, 709.06 (This book would be useful for my essay as its an overview of the modernism period. It critically introduces the art of the modern world and gives reason to how the modern world influenced modern art)
  • Frascina, F. & Harris, J. (1992) ‘Art in Modern Culture: An Anthology of Critical Texts’, London, Open University, Phaidon, 701.1 (This book would help me as it includes a collection of key texts about modern art and its role in modern culture. The text in the book by Timothy J. Clark - "Preliminaries to a Possible Treatment of 'Olympia'" would be especially helpful as I would like to look at the comparrison between Manet's 'Olympia' and Titan's 'Venus of Urbino')
  • Ward, Glenn (1997) 'Postmodernism', Teach Yourself, London, Hodder Headline Ltd, 306.1 (Even though this book is about the period after modernism, it still includes a section on modernity and enlightenment, and its association with its faith in progress and optimism)
  • Varnedoe, Kirk (2000) 'Gustave Caillebotte', New Haven and London, Yale University Press, World Print Ltd, CAI 759.92 (This will be useful for my essay as Caillebotte was an Impressionist painter. His paintings were modern and I intend to look at them in my essay)
  • Tinniswood, A. (1998) 'Visions of Power: Ambition and Architecture from Ancient Rome to Modern Paris', London, Reed Consumer Books Ltd, 725.1 (This book focuses on architecture and has a few pages on Hausmanns renovations which I plan on writing about)
