Cubism: A History and an Analysis, 1907-1914Cubism is one of the most significant turning points in the history of Western art. John Golding recapitulates the creative excitement of this revolution in pictorial concept and shows its influence and its place in the general history of twentieth century art. He describes the way Cubism evolved, from the early experiments of Picasso and Braque -- through the new techniques developed by these two sovereign creators and Gris -- to the dissemination of the style and the Cubist work of Léger, Delaunay, and others. In defining the characteristics of Cubism, Golding proceeds from the evidence of the paintings themselves, giving illuminating readings of major works. Halftone reproductions of 160 works illustrate the analysis. -- From publisher's description. |
