Vase of Flowers transports us to the birthplace of Cubism and the beginning of Picasso’s serious interest in the still-life. The setting is a corner of his studio at the Bateau-Lavoir, the rundown building in Montmartre where he painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907, The
Museum of Modern Art, NY). Excerpt taken from book by the authors.
“Picasso: Still Life” is an exceptional new publication curated and authored by Ross Fi*****io and Delphine Huisinga, founders of Castille Art Research.
This richly illustrated volume includes an extended curatorial essay by Fi*****io and Huisinga, as well as nine additional texts, each devoted to a single work. Accompanied by installation views, illustrations, and comparative images, these contributions further illuminate the enduring significance of the still life within the practice of one of the most influential and versatile figures in the history of art.
