Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Andy Warhol each significantly shaped the development of art in the 20th century.

Written by Carolyn Lanchner, former curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum, these books are excellent resources for readers interested in the stories behind masterpieces of the modern canon and for those who wish to understand the contributions of individual artists to the history of modern art.
