New Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropaedia. (2010) Modern Art. 15th edition. Volume 8. Chicago: Encyclopedia Britannica.
The Encyclopedia Britannica has a way of distilling information down to its bones, and that is the case here. This would be a recommended starting point before approaching the other sources. It is clearly written and provides a framework for understanding the art and artists of the Modern movement. Included for authority, accuracy, and scope.
