Product Description
Product Description
This is an introduction to cubism, the movement often seen as the single most important development in the history of 20th-century art. The book offers an account of the origins of the style in the dialogue between Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso between 1907 and 1914. It traces cubism's evolution in the work of these two artists as well as Juan Gris, Fernand Leger, Robert Delaunay, Andre Derain, Albert Gleizes, Jean Metzinger and many others. The book situates cubism in the context of its times, and shows how it penetrated artistic activity far beyond painting and sculpture, reinvigorating architecture, graphic design, music and poetry, and transforming the possibilities of photography and film.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent, no-nonsense account of probably the most famous and simultaneously misconstrued modern movement in art. The collective result of much recent scholarship is brought to bear by Cox in his account of Cubism's invention in the hands of Braque and Picasso and the parts played in its further development by others, such as Gris. The book is effective in providing social and historical context, but thankfully never loses sight of the works of art themselves whose importance to their creators and to contemporary art criticism is easy to overlook now.
Format:Paperback
I bought the book because I'm doing an A level fine art project on Cubism. It really is quite detailed in its writing and covers other art movements of the time and others that were inspired by cubism.
