{"product_id":"romanesque-picasso-juan-jos-lahuerta-9788480432870","title":"Romanesque - Picasso","description":"This beautifully illustrated book, the catalog for an exhibition on view at the National Museum of Art of Catalonia in Barcelona and coorganized with the Picasso Museum in Paris, explores important affinities between Picasso and Romanesque art. Using two key moments as starting points, Juan Jos  Lahuerta and Emilia Philippot first discuss the summer of 1906, when Picasso stayed in the village of G sol in the Catalan Pyrenees, and then turn to 1934, as he visited the Romanesque art collections of what is today the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Picasso's discovery of the Romanesque nurtured his interest in other \"primitive\" or ethnographic art, later echoed in such decisive works as \u003ci\u003eLes Demoiselles d'Avignon\u003c\/i\u003e. Importantly, while Lahuerta and Philippot avoid any attempt to trace direct Romanesque influences on Picasso--as they note, his work consistently escapes such linear accounts--they do demonstrate that Picasso's interest in the twelfth-century sculpture \u003ci\u003eVirgin from G sol\u003c\/i\u003e, his lifelong fascination with the theme of the crucifixion, and his study of the skull all reflect elements that were also of major importance in Romanesque art and architecture. What these shared features allow, Lahuerta and Philippot ultimately argue, is not only a richer understanding of Picasso's work, but also a rediscovering and reinvention of Romanesque art in our contemporary moment, causing the medieval to become refreshingly and paradoxically modern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan José Lahuerta, Emilia Philippot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 848043287X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788480432870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tenov Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Juan José Lahuerta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941279564031,"sku":"9788480432870","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d3978545-5831-4317-a3d7-28b7ba00310d.jpg?v=1681451986","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/romanesque-picasso-juan-jos-lahuerta-9788480432870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
