Picasso: The Making of Cubism 1912-1914
Edited by Anne Umland and Blair Hartzell, with Scott Gerson.
With essays by Elizabeth Cowling, Jeremy Melius, and Jeffrey Weiss
Picasso: The Making of Cubism 1912-1914 delves into a
watershed moment in the history of twentieth-century art and in Pablo
Picasso's career through in-depth studies of fifteen objects made by the
artist between 1912 and 1914. Catalyzed by MoMA’s 2011 exhibition Picasso: Guitars 1912-1914,
this interactive digital publication reveals for the first time the
many insights gained by curators, scholars, and conservators through
first-hand examination of the works in the Museum’s galleries and in the
conservation lab.
Each chapter is devoted to a single object from this period,
featuring an overview essay by a distinguished scholar and a
comprehensive portfolio of high-resolution images, ranging from X-rays
and 360-degree views to enlarged details and photographs taken during
the conservation process. A wealth of secondary resources, including
video clips of curators and conservators talking about the objects,
detailed conservation notes, illustrated provenances and exhibition
histories, and lists of published references for each work further
enrich the publication, presenting fresh interpretations of canonical
works of art in unprecedented and dynamic ways.
Available exclusively in e-book format, as an iPad app or interactive PDF.
