Radical Picasso - Charles F. B. Miller - Bog

"A book of enormous ambition, C. F. B. Miller's Radical Picasso questions the most fundamental assumptions about the achievement of Pablo Picasso. This is absolutely a book to be contended with by anyone approaching this body of artistic production."--Charles Palermo, author of Modernism and Authority: Picasso and His Milieu around 1900 "In Miller's Radical Picasso, 'Picasso' names not a person but a heterogenous body of work--one crucial to the history of modernist art yet also constituting an immanent critique of it. Through a form of close writing cannily matched to the complexities of the work, this book recalls us from the domesticated 'Picasso' to which we have become accustomed to the more radical, disruptive, and disorienting aspects lurking within."--Lisa Florman, Professor of History of Art, Ohio State University
