Josep Palau i Fabre's monumental study chronicles this seismic period with meticulous scholarship, tracing the genesis of Cubism from the proto-Cubist shock of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon through the analytical and synthetic phases that would forever alter the course of modern art. Set against the vibrant intellectual ferment of pre-war Paris, the work presents Picasso's collaborative dialogues with Georges Braque, Juan Gris, and the avant-garde poets and critics who orbited his studio, revealing a creative ecosystem as rich and complex as the fractured planes on the canvases themselves.\n\nPalau i Fabre writes with the authority of a lifelong Picasso devotee and scholar, bringing a rare intimacy and critical precision to his subject. The text is richly illustrated and argues persuasively that these ten years represent not merely a stylistic shift, but a fundamental reorganisation of how humanity perceives and represents reality. Deeply researched and beautifully produced, this volume is an indispensable companion for anyone serious about understanding modern art — and it leaves one wondering just how conscious Picasso was that he was dismantling a thousand years of artistic tradition, one fractured plane at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49313640743131,"sku":"2026100009091-SECONDHAND","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d2779dea-8851-42c0-9512-5e2de78b22a7.png?v=1789524786","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009091-secondhand-picasso-cubism-1907-1917","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
