Published as part of MoMA's prestigious Studies in Modern Art series, the volume presents a rigorous and multifaceted examination of the 1907 painting — a work that fractured pictorial space, challenged classical ideals of beauty, and ignited the Cubist movement that would reshape the entire trajectory of 20th-century art.\n\nDrawing on archival research, critical essays, and a wealth of preparatory studies and related works, this collection of scholarly contributions illuminates the complex genesis and enduring legacy of Picasso's masterpiece, tracing its debt to African art, Iberian sculpture, and the bold formal experiments of Cézanne. Each essay argues persuasively for a fresh understanding of the painting's radical iconography and its pivotal role in the birth of Modernism. For collectors, students, and aficionados of modern art alike, this volume raises as many questions as it answers — leaving the reader to wonder just how much of our visual world was irrevocably transformed on a single canvas in a Paris studio over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276132458715,"sku":"2026100009291-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5d8b00f7-41da-45f2-8d8e-73634e02520e.png?v=1789092707","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009291-secondhand-les-demoiselles-davignon","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
