Sobre este artículo
New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1996. Hardbound. VG, minor wear to dj edges and ex-library spine label and stamp/marking to title page, otherwise clean.. Navy cloth with white lettering; grey dw with color illustration and black lettering; 496 pp. profusely illustrated in color and bw. Includes 11 critical essays, with topics including self-portraits, Marie-Therese Walter, Dora Maar, Francoise Gilot, and much more; with extensive text and an index of illustrations; an amazingly informative catalogue from the exhibition. "Portraiture has managed to flourish in modern painting in spite of the popularization of photography, the decline of traditional patronage, and modernism's increasing emphasis on abstraction. However problematic modern styles have been for representational art, painters have continued to discover new possibilities in the imaging of the human face. This book explores the challenge of the modernist portrait through the multiple solutions proposed by its foremost protagonist and, in so doing, becomes the first volume ever published on the subject of Picasso and portraiture. The hundreds of works reproduced here - most of them unfamiliar, some virtually unknown - demonstrate the remarkable range of Picasso's experimentation in all its stylistic and psychological diversity. The book opens with an authoritative, broad-ranging essay by William Rubin; the nine essays that follow - all by major contemporary scholars and critics - examine different periods and aspects of Picasso's career and clarify personal relationships between the artist and his subjects. It closes with an essay by Mr. Rubin on the late portraits. Numerous photographs, some never before published and many by outstanding photographers, present the portrait subjects as seen through the eye of the camera. This book, published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, opening in April 1996, no doubt will long remain the definitive work on its subject."--Jacket.
