This essential text in twentieth-century art presents the poet and critics aesthetic meditations on nine painters: Pablo Picasso  Georges Braque  Jean Metzinger  Albert Gleizes  Marie Laurencin  Juan Gris  Fernand Lger  Francis Picabia  and Marcel Duchamp. As Picassos closest friend and Marie Laurencins lover  Apollinaire witnessed the development of Cubism firsthand. This collection of essays and reviews  written between 1905 and 1912  is a milestone in the history of art criticism  valued today as both a work of reference and a classic example of modernist creative writing.  In addition to a faithful and fluid translation of Apollinaires text  Peter Read provides his own scholarly analysis of its importance in the history of modernism. He examines Apollinaires art criticism  his relationship to the Cubist movement  and  more specifically  the genesis of Cubist Painters through its various revisions and proofs. Supported by all forty-five plates from the original edition  this new volume brings Apollinaires vitality and vision to life for a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946813583413,"sku":"ByrdShop_0520243544","price":29.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780520243545.jpg?v=1769967509","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cubist-painters-documents-of-twentiethcentury-art","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
