Откровените мемоари на Франсоаз Жило са най-проникновеният портрет на Пикасо, създаван някога, и дават завладяваща представа за бурния съвместен живот и творчеството на двамата модерни художници. Франсоаз Жило е в началото на двайсетте си години, когато през 1943 г. среща шейсет и една годишния Пабло Пикасо. Израснала е в заможно семейство от горната средна класа, което я изпраща в Кеймбридж и Сорбоната и се надява, че тя ще се занимава с право. Младата жена обаче се противопоставя на желанията им и се насочва към изкуството. Запознанството ѝ с Пикасо довежда до приятелство, любовна история и десетгодишна връзка, ... |

Le livre explore le regard depuis la Bulgarie envers la scène artistique française pendant les années 1960. À travers des cas concrets la dynamique de la décennie est mise en relief. L'auteure discute des participations aux forums internationaux, les échanges d'expositions, des exemples de la culture visuelle du quotidien. La recherche tend vers la pluralité: il est toujours possible aux cas analysés d'ajouter d'autres. Il est inapproprié de distinguer rigoureusement le regard envers la France du regard envers l'Occident, comme aussi des contacts avec les ... |

Pioneered by Picasso and Braque, Cubism has been described as the first avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. With inspiration from African and Native American art and sculpture, its practitioners deconstructed European conventions of viewpoint, form, perspective to create flattened, fragmented, and revolutionary images. Picasso's celebrated painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon is typically regarded as the original cubist work, with its radical fracturing of objects and figures into distinct areas, corresponding to multiple different viewpoints. Cubism thereafter developed two distinct trends: Analytical ... |

With explanatory texts for each work, and essays introducing each of the major modern movements, this is an authoritative overview of the ideas and the artworks that shook up standards, assaulted the establishment, and trailblazed new ideas.

In endless odes to the female form, Amedeo Modigliani (1884 - 1920) traced elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his own name into art history. His languid female subjects are as instantly recognizable as they are startling, sensual, and swan-necked. Modigliani's unique figuration corresponded to his own personal idea of beauty, but drew upon a rich variety of visual influences, including contemporary Cubism, African carvings, Cambodian sculptures, and 13th-century painting from his native Italy. Although most renowned for his nude females, he applied similar stylistic techniques to portraits of male artistic ... |

Vincent van Gogh's story is one of the most ironic in art history. Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction. Yet as he was painting the canvases that would subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly ... |

Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Edward Weston, Manuel and Lola Alvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art. After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic ... |

The self as a subject is one of the most fascinating and fruitful of artistic enterprises. From the 15th century to today, this collection brings together some of the best examples of self-portraiture to explore the genre's evolution over the centuries as well as the enduring questions of selfhood and self-representation that have besieged human experience for centuries before social media and the selfie. Is a self-portrait of an artist a medium of reflection? Or is it merely a black void, the "false mirror", as the Surrealist René Magritte entitled his 1928 painting of an eye? How much does it impart ... |
