Modern Art is a global approach and a revision of the modern and contemporary art historical canon, focusing on works of art that visualize socio-political, economic, and cultural changes that took/are taking place in the world. This text features both enormously famous artists as well as those who have received little scholarly attention by art historians, serving as a more inclusive text than traditional examples."-Ashley Lindeman, Johnson County Community College
