Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin’s poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin’s sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures – Picasso and Braque above all. He makes a case for Cubism’s revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Moment of Cubism\u003c\/em\u003e” is my touchstone – complex, provocative, evocative, informative, and, like many of his most important writings, the context and the spur for its creation seem mysteriously not tied to commercial publishing schedules or to art-market exigencies … a thrilling essay\u003c\/p\u003e\n– \u003ccite\u003eMira Schor, \u003cem\u003eArtforum\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eSome of the most astute critics and historians of modern painting, among whom John Berger, English novelist and art critic of the \u003cem\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/em\u003e, occupies an eminent place, believe that Picasso and Braque never surpassed the works of their Cubist period\u003c\/p\u003e\n– \u003ccite\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/cite\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42424400576597,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/7554\/5141\/files\/getimage_90471666-86e8-409f-ad6d-a6919e5f1d2f.webp?v=1776869307","url":"https:\/\/shop.workingclasshistory.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-moment-of-cubism-john-berger","provider":"Working Class History | Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
