jazzy_daveAlan Bowness "Modern European Art : Impressionism To Abstract Art" (Thames & Hudson)
A good summary of the development of European art from Manet to the late 1950s. Suffers slightly from the monochrome reproductions; a Rothko on black and white doesn't really work. Coverage of sculpture is somewhat erratic (Jacob Epstein is mentioned only in passing, for example), but otherwise fairly comprehensive.
A good introduction nonetheless.
