Vincent Giroud
Picasso and Gertrude Stein

2007 y.
Publisher: The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Description: The Portrait of Gertrude Stein was the first major work by Pablo Picasso to enter The Metropolitan Museum of Art, bequeathed by Stein herself in 1946. A century after it was painted, this portrait remains one of the most powerful images of early-20th-century modernism. What was to be a lifelong friendship was but a few months old in the spring of 1906, when Picasso began his portrait of Stein. He was 24 years old at the time and she was 32, and both of their careers were at a critical stage. This engaging book recounts the extraordinary circumstances that led to Stein’s first posing session and argues that the portrait played a key role not only in Picasso’s work as a painter but also in his subject’s creative life, as he became, in turn, the subject of several of Stein’s literary portraits.

Pepe Karmel
Picasso and the Invention of Cubism

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book transforms our understanding of Cubism, showing in unprecedented detail how it emerged in Picasso?s work of the years 1906?13, and tracing its roots in nineteenth-century philosophy and linguistics. Linking well-known paintings and sculptures to the hitherto-ignored drawings that accompanied them, Pepe Karmel demonstrates how Picasso?s quest to depict the human body with greater solidity led, paradoxically, to its fragmentation, and how Picasso used the archaic model of stage space to free himself from conventional perspective, replacing the open window of Renaissance painting with a new projective space. In other chapters, Karmel discusses the empiricist philosophy championed by Hippolyte Taine, which encouraged the breakdown of painting into its abstract elements, and laid the groundwork for an art of mental association rather than naturalistic figuration. Similarly, contemporary philology provided the model for a visual language employing… [detailed...]

Picasso and the War Years, 1937-1945

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionArguably the most important artist of the twentieth century, Pablo Picasso has been the object of innumerable exhibitions and publications. This absorbing book draws upon new research and works that, in some cases, were held out of publicview in Picasso`s own collection to explore the critically important--but still under-studied--period of his life from the time of the Spanish Civil War through World War II and the Nazi occupation of France. This span of years is marked by some of the most intensely personal and expressive work of his long and diverse career. By the 1930s Picasso stood secure in his preeminence, a symbol of modernism and a model of inventiveness and self-renewal. The darkening political situation in Europe, however, began to intrude into his world of creativity, and by 1935 new themes of unrest were emerging in his work. With the outbreak of the civil war in Spain, political crisis became personal crisis, and the formerly autobiographical, even… [detailed...]

Christopher Green
Picasso: Architecture and Vertigo

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The starting point of this exciting new exploration of Picasso is not his life but his work, which is revealed as a series of interventions in the troubled history of early twentieth-century Europe. Christopher Green shows how these interventions are remarkable for the force with which they confront issues that remain vital and important for us today: race, cultural difference, modernity, sexuality and the discontents of civilization. The framework for Green’s exploration is simple, yet enormously rich in its implications: the compulsion found in Picasso’s work simultaneously to build architectures and to release himself from them. Architecture is used by Green to refer not merely to pictorial or sculptural structure, but to the architecture of knowledge and society: the structures of tradition, of racial, social and cultural distinction, of logic and of technology. He not only develops new ways of seeing the oscillation between order and disorder in Picasso’s… [detailed...]

Picasso: Bathers

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionNo 20th-century artist enjoys greater popularity than Pablo Picasso, and none has been exhibited more often or studied so intensely. Yet there remains uncharted territory on the map of the master`s extensive oeuvre, which spanned one of the most tumultuous, experimental periods of art history: the seaside figural scenes that fascinated Picasso throughout his life. From his early Cubist period in the first years of the century through his classicizing phase and into his late work of the 1960s, Picasso returned again and again to this sand-and-sea theme. Even in 1937, when he was so powerfully engaged with the horrors of the Spanish Civil War, sketching preparatory drawings for Guernica , he was also busy executing a group of decidedly non-political works representing bathers. The resulting paintings, including On the Beach (also known as Girls with a Toy Boat ) recall his earlier Three Bathers from 1920. Here as elsewhere, Picasso developed a… [detailed...]

Anne Baldassari
Picasso: Life with Dora Maar

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Dora Maar, born Henriette ThA?A©odora Markovitch in 1907, was a talented artist in her own right. While studying painting, she soon found a passion and gift for photography, and became a prominent member of the Surrealist movement. This catalogue traces her relationship with Picasso, from the time of their first meeting in late 1935 through 1937. Picasso expert Anne Baldassari demonstrates how those years were critical for both artists, and how their interaction provided mutual inspiration through the mid-1940s. The relationship is set within the context of major historical events, from the Spanish Civil War and the Popular Front, to the rise of fascism and World War II. This chronological account brings a legend to life, allowing the reader unique access to two artistic minds. Maar s photographs, alongside Picasso`s drawings, paintings, and poems, serve as a guide through the critical period in which these two figures influenced one another. Preserved in her studio archives,… [detailed...]

Picasso

1996 y.
Publisher: Terrail
Description: Picasso invites the reader to set aside preconceived ideas before exploring the work of one of the 20th century`s greatest and most influential artists, and to relive one of the most profound revolutions in pictorial art. By the age of twenty, Pablo Picasso had produced over a thousand paintings and drawings, but his first critical success came in 1907 at the age of twenty-six when he created his famous Les demoiselles d`Avignon. Notables in the Paris art world were too shocked to express disapproval, never before had they seen such a crude transformation of reality. As a painter, Picasso questioned, transformed, and ultimately disfigured the material world surrounding him, giving birth to a new era in art. His talent is illuminated in this complete survey with 120 brilliant full-color illustrations and 25 b/w documents that span from 1896 to 1972, from his class portraits and still-lifes as a young artist, to his outrageous masterpieces in cubism and realism, and also including his… [detailed...]
