Book excerpt: The author has selected six areas - colour, distortion, the pulverized object, frontality, the real object and movement - and shown in them some three hundred paintings in pertinent series in a presentation intended to be tabular and synchronic in order to emphasize visually (by the methodical repetition of an attitude or of a plastic arrangement) certain constant factors, certain main lines that cross and depict the art of the twentieth century at its moment of decisive crisis.
