Hi all,
I just bought a new book that I thought I would share with everyone.....I'm
enjoying it so far, and I think it will be very useful when teaching modern
art.

From the back cover -
Begining with the Barbizon school and the Realist movement of the
mid-nineteenth century, Thompson leads the reader through more than a
century of painting, right up to the avant-garde movement of the 1980s.
Suppliementing main examples with realted works both contemporary and
historical, Thompson explores each artist's use of media and symbolism and
provides biographical information to help the reader unlock the painting's
meaning.
