Publisher's Synopsis
This fully illustrated catalogue examines the work that Pablo Picasso made in Paris during the tumultuous years of WWI. Focusing on his oeuvre from 1912 to 1924, when he utilised both Cubist and classical modes in his art, it highlights one of the most important periods in the history of modern art. Picasso's shifts in style became a means of not repeating, in his words, 'the same vision, the same technique, the same formula'. With that approach in mind, this book also includes the work of Picasso's peers and friends: artists who were also exploring themes relevant to the difficult times in which they lived.
