This radically new take on Cubism shows how Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris both parodied and paid homage to classic trompe l’oeil themes and motifs with wit and invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore than one hundred illustrated works juxtapose Cubist paintings, drawings, and collages with related compositions by the old masters. Essays based on new research explore connections between the Cubists and the trompe l’oeil specialists of earlier centuries and their games of creative one-upmanship. The informed and engaging texts trace the changing status of trompe l’oeil over the centuries, reveal Braque’s training in artisanal trompe l’oeil techniques as an integral part of his Cubist practice, examine the materials used in Gris’s collages, and discuss the previously unstudied trompe l’oeil iconography within Cubist still lifes—including newspapers, word puns, pictures-within-pictures, imitation wood grain, and tools of the trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(October 20, 2022–January 22, 2023)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423992955116,"sku":"9781588396761","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781588396761.jpg?v=1774769465"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/emily-braun.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
