A Sum of Destructions Picasso's Cultures and the Creation of Cubism
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 04/01/2002
Staller boldly illuminates what Cubism's radical attributes meant in historical and culturally specific terms. With vivid detail, she analyzes an unprecedented range of new, often archival, materials -- from coded messages senoritas sent with fans to ritual re-enactments of holy wars, from enchanted characters of fairy tales to superstitions, bullfighting treatises, provincial art-school manuals, three-minute films, and Picasso's childhood works saved by his parents from the time he was nine.
A Sum of Destructions offers a new appreciation of Picasso's extraordinary ability to recast his cultural past as he grappled with his avant-garde present -- to create stunningly original images, the most historically decisive of his life. Staller reinterprets major works from Demoiselles to Suze, and beyond, along the way transforming our understanding of both Picasso andhis Cubist art.
