Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "The first 100 years of modern art witnessed the popularization of photography and an increasing emphasis on abstraction in painting, which threatened the survival of portraiture as a genre. It continued to flourish, however, because modern painters--Picasso foremost among them--sought and found new ways to portray the human face. The hundreds of works reproduced here illustrate the multiple solutions Picasso invented to solve the problem of the modernist portrait. Illustrations, 230 in color." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Reflections on Picasso and portraiture, by William Rubin; Picasso's self-portraits, by Kirk Varnedoe; Three portrait-manifestoes of poets: Andre Salmon, Guillaume Apollinaire, and Max Jacob, by Helene Seckel; "Heads faces and bodies: Picasso's uses of portrait photographs, by Anne Baldassari; To fall "like a fly into the trap of Picasso's stare": portraiture in the early work, by Marilyn McCully; Portraiture in Picasso's primitivism and cubism, by Pierre Daix; The modernists' dilemma: neoclassicism and the portrayal of Olga Khokhlova, by Michael C.

The pieces represented here, whether Calder or Klee, Tupperware or furniture, represent, according to him, not disintegration but integration - of Europe and America, craft and art, high culture and low. As such they also represent a triumph of the human spirit in the most turbulent decade of modern history." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by Richard E.

Additional shipping charges may be requested for international & priority orders. A large-format coffee-table book. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "Marc Chagall is one of the twentieth century's favorite artists, known and admired for his rich palette, his inventive approach, his accessible subjects, and the rich traditions behind his work. Combining fantasy, spirituality, and nostalgia with a distinctive modern painting style, Chagall's canvases are infused with a joyous, dreamlike simplicity. Even as styles shifted from Cubism to Suprematism to Surrealism, his work remained individual and idiosyncratic-sometimes harming his art world reputation, but never his popular appeal. Lavishly illustrated with more than one hundred and fifty color reproductions, Marc Chagall is the first full-scale survey of the artist's work in nearly twenty years. An introductory essay by exhibition curator Jean-Michel Foray contextualizes the Russian-born artist's work, while a heavily illustrated chronology of Chagall's life assembled by Meret Meyer Graber and Jakov Bruk details the many stages of his career. The work is organized into four sections, each with an introduction by Foray, to help make sense of the artist's prodigious oeuvre. This catalogue is published on the occasion of a major retrospective conceived by Reunion des Musees Nationaux, Paris, with the Musee National Message Biblique Marc Chagall, Nice, and co-organized with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art." - Publisher.
