$78
SHIPPING OFFERED
'Cubism & Australian Art' by Lesley Harding & Sue Cramer in very good condition. It's a First Edition hardback as per photo 2.
The blurb:- ...examines for the first time the impact of this transformative art movement on the work of Australian artists, from the early 1920's to the present day. The authors argue that by its very nature, Cubism was characterised by variation and change, that the idea of a pure or original Cubism was short lived, and that its appearance in Australian art parallels its uptake and re-interpretation by artists internationally. In the words of French artist Andre Lhote, mentor to several Australians who studied at his academy in Paris: 'There are a thousand definitions of Cubism, because there are a thousand painter practising it.'
More than eighty international and Australian artists are showcased with over 300 works, featuring Sam Atyeo, Ralph Balson, Grace Crowley, Frank Hinder, Roger Kemp, Godfrey Miller, Stephen Bram and Daniel Crooks, as well as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Fernand Leger.
Contents page is shown in photo 3 [can be enlarged to make easier to read].
