Description
An unlikely episode in the history of European Modernism is the alliance between the avant-garde and the antique forged by artists of impeccable radical credentials. This book focuses on the reinventions and transformations of antiquity in the work of four culturally and politically diverse artists between 1905 and 1935. In distinctly different ways, classicizing creations such as de Chiricos enigmatic piazzas, Picassos post-Cubist women, Légers mechanized nudes, and Picabias Transparencies reflect what the eyes and minds of these artists found so arresting in the arts of antiquity and how they made those arts modern.
