PALAU I FABRE, JOSEP Picasso Cubism, 1907-1917
New York, Rizzoli. 1990, First Edition. (ISBN: 0847812383). Hardcover. Book, 1,584 illustrations, including 378 in color. New York: Rizzoli, 1990. First edition. Cubism, for Picasso, was a vast experiment which led him into aesthetic territory few other artists have explored. That sense of daring adventure permeates this marvelous album, essential to an understanding of cubism and Picasso. Spanish scholar Palau i Fabre makes a plausible case for the view that the invention of a cubist vocabulary constituted a genuine revolution, not just an ivory-tower affair. He recreates Picasso's cubist phase as a tortuous battle, a stroke-by-stroke quest for perfection in a newly discovered pictorial kingdom. Original cream cloth binding, with black titles. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket, housed in the publisher's slipcase. Fine/Fine.
