Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar
Although Pablo Picasso spotted Dora Maar at a cafe in January 1936 it is highly likely that she had come to his attention prior. As Brassaï, a Hungarian-French photographer, recalled, 'It was at Les Deux-Magots that, one day in autumn 1935, [he] met Dora. On an earlier day, he had already noticed the grave, drawn face of the young woman at a nearby table, the attentive look in her light-colored eyes, sometimes disturbing in its fixity. When Picasso saw her in the same cafe in the company of the surrealist poet Paul Éluard, who knew her, the poet introduced her to Picasso' (Brassaï, a.k.a. Gyula Halász, Conversations with Picasso [University of Chicago Press, 1999]). Tinged with a seducti...
Mystic Masque
"More than thirty essays based on new research by scholars from a variety of disciplines recover Rouault's keen sense of disjunction, unintended consequences, and ironic reversals."--Book jacket leaf.
American Pop Art in France
Pop art was essential to the Americanization of global art in the 1960s, yet it engendered resistance and adaptation abroad in equal measure, especially in Paris. From the end of the Algerian War of Independence and the opening of Ileana Sonnabend’s gallery for American Pop art in Paris in 1962, to the silkscreen poster workshops of May ’68, this book examines critical adaptations of Pop motifs and pictorial devices across French painting, graphic design, cinema and protest aesthetics. Liam Considine argues that the transatlantic dispersion of Pop art gave rise to a new politics of the image that challenged Americanization and prefigured the critiques and contradictions of May ’68.
Picasso
8 aprile 1973. Al momento della morte di Picasso, un profluvio di superlativi viene associato al suo nome. Lo Stato francese, in pompa magna, ne accoglie l’opera, assimilandola alla propria storia. Ma quanti sanno che all’artista era stata rifiutata la naturalizzazione? Quanti immaginano il clima di sospetto e di esclusione di cui fu vittima, culminato nel gran rifiuto che il Louvre oppose nel 1929 alla donazione delle Demoiselles d’Avignon? Stimolata dalle molte contraddizioni che vede affiorare, Annie Cohen-Solal si lancia in una inedita quanto coraggiosa esplorazione del mondo insondabile di Picasso per sottrarre alla polvere degli archivi i segreti di una storia ancora tutta da rac...

« Picasso et sa femme » : Eva Gouel, cette inconnue effacée
Eva Gouel a été la deuxième compagne de Picasso. Ils vécurent ensemble pendant quatre années, de 1912 à fin 1915, lorsqu’elle mourut d’un cancer. Peu de choses étaient connues d’elle. Durant quatre années, une recherche minutieuse et passionnée, a permis de retrouver beaucoup d’informations, très souvent inédites, sur sa vie avant Picasso, et sur sa vie avec Picasso. Les drames qu’elle a vécus. Les rencontres qu’ils ont faites et ce qui en est dit d’elle. Eva est atypique parmi les compagnes du peintre car, de son aveu même, il n’en a jamais fait le portrait. Pourquoi, alors qu’il a toujours fait de nombreux portraits de ses rencontres amoureuses, y compris lor...
