The Cubist Cosmos traces the development of Cubism between 1907 and
1917. The publication reveals the boundless innovative power of the
works of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It also shows how the
Cubist pictorial language was received and advanced by the artists
of the Parisian avant-garde – such as Fernand Léger and Sonia
Delaunay – and how it evolved into colourful large-format
pictures. The volume reflects not only the enormous range of this
stylistic direction but also its revolutionary potential, which
went on to influence the further development of twentieth-century
art. In chronologically and thematically devised chapters the
publication shows how the influence of folk art and archaic
sculpture as well as the works of Paul Cezanne initially became
increasingly evident in the paintings of Picasso and Braque. From
1908 crystalline, geometric elements as it were, appear. Until 1911
the characteristic prismatically fragmented forms and an almost
colourless austerity dominated. The new pictorial language was
taken up by artists like Juan Gris, Fernand Leger, Robert and Sonia
Delaunay and Henri Le Fauconnier, who developed and presented it in
large formats in the Salon exhibitions of the Paris art world.
