Cubism and the Trompe lOeil Tradition Braun Emily
A pioneering study of how Picasso, Braque, and Gris engaged with the pictorial tradition of illusion and deception in their influential Cubist worksThe age-old tradition of pictorial illusionism, known as trompe l'oeil ("deceive the eye"), employs visual tricks that confound the viewer's perception of reality and fiction, truth and falsehood. More than one hundred illustrated works juxtapose Cubist paintings, drawings, and collages with related compositions by the old masters. This radically new take on Cubism shows how Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Juan Gris both parodied and paid homage to classic trompe l'oeil themes and motifs with wit and invention.
The informed and engaging texts trace the changing Essays based on new research explore connections between the Cubists and the trompe l'oeil specialists of earlier centuries and their games of creative one-upmanship.
