Picasso and Truth - From Cubims to Guernica

Zusatztext "This book has changed how I will look at all paintings from now on. . . . It is difficult to describe this book as anything less than astounding. . . . In its astute observations, application of philosophical thought combined with a beautifully readable and engaging style, Picasso and Truth is, undoubtedly, Clark's." ---Daniel Fraser, 3:AM Magazine Informationen zum Autor T. J. Clark Klappentext "No art historian in our time has had a greater impact both within the field and beyond it than T. J. Clark. Everything he writes matters in the most fundamental way. His latest book, Picasso and Truth , is no exception--superbly observed, beautifully argued, a tour de force of looking, thinking, and writing." --Michael Fried, author of The Moment of Caravaggio "This is the Picasso book for which we have all been waiting. This work displaces biographical and psychological treatments of the artist from the past several decades, rendering them obsolete--and it forever changes art history in its present disposition." --Rosalind E. Krauss, Columbia University Zusammenfassung From Pablo Picasso's early The Blue Room to the later Guernica, this book offers a striking reassessment of the artist's paintings from the 1920s and 1930s. It focuses on three central works - the large-scale Guitar and Mandolin on a Table (1924), The Three Dancers (1925), and The Painter and His Model (1927).
