Cubism
Author(s): Anne Gantefuhrer-Trier
As youâÂÂll find out in this guide to the fundamentals of cubism, there is more to the genre than its most famous proponent. Cubism â often identified by flattened, geometric shapes, overlapping, simplified forms and fragmented spatial planesâÂÂwas quite possibly the most influential movement in 20th-century art. Featured artists: Pablo Picasso, Edmond Fortier, Paul Cézanne, George Braque, Henri Le Fauconnier, Jean Metzinger, Fernand Léger, Juan Gris, Albert Gleizes, Henri Laurens, Salvador DalÃÂ, Brassaï, Robert Delaunay, Raymond Duchamp-Villon About Taschen's Basic Art movement and genre series: each book includes a detailed introduction with approximately 30 photographs, plus a timeline of the most important events (political, cultural, scientific, sporting, etc.) that took place during the time period. The body of the book contains a selection of the most important works of the epoch; each is presented on a 2-page spread with a full page image and, on the facing page, a description/interpretation of the work, portrait of the artist, and biographical information.
2004. First edition. An ex-library copy in very good condition.
