{"product_id":"picasso-between-cubism-and-classicism-1915-1925","title":"Picasso: Between Cubism and Classicism 1915-1925","description":"One hundred years later, this book evokes Picasso's journey to Rome and Naples with  Jean Cocteau, Igor Stravinsky and the company of Sergei Djagilev's  Ballet Russes . lt was during this trip that he met and fell in love with the company's leading dancer,  Olga Khokhlova, who would become his first wife. In addition to the few extraordinary weeks spent in ltaly, which were pivotal in the  development of Picasso's art during the post-war years, the monograph also examines  his production immediately after this ltalian experience, with particular reference to the  ballets  Parade  and  Pulcinella , as well as those paintings indebted to the iconographic  and cultural world that these two works had introduced him to. The book focuses on Picasso's ability to experiment in different genres, from still-life to  portraiture, from the playful and decorative collages executed during the Great War, to  the sophisticated realism of the years of his association with Djagilev. It also documents  the long-term impact of his ltalian journey on Picasso's art, which necessarily involves  the study of some of the works of Classical inspiration executed in later years.  With over 100 works including iconic paintings, drawings and photographs, the book  shows masterpieces and key works of this period of Picasso's production (1915-1925),  with the aim of pointing out hidden links, temporary resurfocings or originai pre  existence of Classical elements throughout the artist's career.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663945437220,"sku":"9788857236933","price":79.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857236933.jpg?v=1777349432","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/picasso-between-cubism-and-classicism-1915-1925","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
