Why your five-year-old could not have done that : modern art explained
Hodge, Susie, 1960-2012
Book
Here Susie Hodge, author of How to Survive Modern Art, explains why the best examples of modern art are actually the result of sophisticated thought and serious talent. From Marcel Duchamp's notorious Fountatin and the scibbles of Cy Twombly to Mark Rothko's multiforms and Carl Andre's uncarved blocks, Hodge addresses critical outrage with a revealing insight into the technical skill, layering of ideas, and sheer inspiration behind each work. In cleverly organized chapters, Hodges thoughtfully and definitively lays bare the perception that modern art is mere child's play.
