Cubism

the Leonard A. Lauder Collection

  • 1 Want to read

This new history of Cubism, based on works from the most significant private collection in the world today, is written by many of the field's premier art historians and scholars. The collection, recently donated to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, includes 80 works by Picasso, Braque, Gris and Leger and is unsurpassed in the number of masterpieces and iconic pieces deemed critical to the development of Cubism. Twenty-two essays explore various facets of Cubism from its origins and consider small groupings of works in light of specific themes - such as a study by neuropsychiatrist Eric Kandel on Cubism and the science of perception. Also included is an interview in which Lauder discusses his approach to collecting.
