Art & Design. Early Film in Cubism
Art & Design. Early Film in Cubism: Great art resonates. It's copied, imitated and cited as influence. The New York Times has a nice article on Picasso, Braque and a new film entitled, Early Film in Cubism. It opens this Friday.
From the NY Times: "It was Picasso doing the non-interview interview, decades before Warhol came along to elevate it to an art form. In 1911 a writer for Paris-Journal was asking Picasso about the radically new kind of painting people were calling Cubism, the lightning bolt that had shot forth from his studio and that of his friend Georges Braque. Picasso claimed never to have heard of such a thing. 'Il n’y a pas de Cubisme,' he said blithely, and then excused himself to go feed his pet monkey."
