The complex facets of Cubism remain relevant subjects in art
history today, a century after Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque
developed the revolutionary style. This impressive collection of
essays by international experts presents new lines of inquiry,
including novel readings of individual objects or groups of works
through close visual, material, and archival analysis; detailed
studies of how Cubism related to intellectual and political
movements of the early 20th century; and accounts of crucial
moments in the reception of Cubism by curators, artists, and
critics. Generous illustrations of paintings, drawings, and
sculptures, some familiar but others virtually unknown, support
this wide range of approaches to the pioneering works of Picasso,
Braque, Fernand Leger, Juan Gris, and others. Distributed for the
National Gallery of Art, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual
Arts
Beginning around 1910, vanguard artists demanded that true art go
beyond the intellectual and transform daily life. This volume
highlights the work of six influential European artists who took
this idea into the wider world, where it merged enthusiastically
with demands in the industrial marketplace, the nascent mass media,
and urban popular culture. Featured are Piet Zwart, a Dutch
designer who brought his minimalist aesthetic vision to ubiquitous
items like biscuit boxes and postage stamps; Karel Teige, leader of
the Czech avant-garde, who produced brilliant book and journal
designs; his compatriot Ladislav Sutnar, who brought modernist
"good design" to tableware, clothing, and children's toys; Gustav
Klutsis, who pioneered using photomontage for political purposes;
Lazar (El) Lissitzky, who produced some of the most exciting book,
poster, and exhibition designs of the 1920s and '30s in Germany and
Russia; and German artist John Heartfield, who worked exclusively
in photomontage to design book covers, journals, and agitational
posters for the Communist cause. Distributed for the Art Institute
