Description
Pablo Picasso's summer in Fontainebleau was a period of remarkable creativity, marked by two large-scale paintings side by side: his classicizing Three Women at the Spring and one of two versions of Three Musicians. This pairing still has the ability to shock, yet a closer look reveals that these works have more in common than meets the eye.
Published to accompany an exhibition that reunites these works with other monumental paintings, small works on paper, line drawings, etchings, and pastels created during Picasso's three-month residency, this book includes never-before-seen photographs and archival documents. An introduction by curator Anne Umland, together with fifteen essays co-authored by art historians and conservators, provides a sweeping overview of this book moment in Picasso's creative trajectory.
With copious reproductions of the artist's paintings and works on paper, as well as detailed analysis from leading experts, this book offers a unique insight into one of the most fascinating periods in Picasso's career.
