The Expansion of Cubism, 1911-1920
Jun 28, 2019 - Oct 06, 2019
The Expansion of Cubism, 1911-1920 brings together painting, sculpture, and works on paper by pioneering Cubist artists such as Fernand L茅ger, Marie Laurencin, Jean Metzinger, and Max Weber, in an examination of the vibrant intellectual and artistic exchanges that helped define one of the landmark styles of Modern art. Though Cubism is often associated with the innovations of its founders Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the two artists were far from alone in developing the aesthetic. Instead, a diverse and international group of painters, sculptors, printmakers, and theorists formed a robust community in Paris, making art that defined Cubism in expansive and challenging terms. As these artists created a revolution in picturing the world, they reacted to (and in some cases, against) Picasso and Braque as they sought new visual strategies to address their changing realities.
