TASCHEN Cubisme by Anne Ganteführer-Trier. Hardcover, 21 x 26 cm, 96 pages. Pioneered by Picasso and Braque, Cubism has been described as the first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. With inspiration from African and Native American art and sculpture, its practitioners deconstructed European conventions of viewpoint, form, perspective to create flattened, fragmented, and revolutionary images. This book contains: Approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions. A detailed, illustrated introduction plus a timeline of the most important political, cultural, and social events that took place during that period. A selection of the most important works of the epoch, each presented on a two-page spread with a full-page image and accompanying interpretation, as well as a portrait and brief biography of the artist.
