By placing abstract art within its political & cultural history Anna Moszynska elucidates a form that since its origin has bewildered its admirers & detractors alike. She offers the reader a comprehensive trajectory of abstraction-- from the radically new pictorial language of Bella & Delaunnay to the visceral spirituality of Kandinsky & Mondrian to the geometrically-obsessed artists of the 1930s & 1940s.
