内容简介

巴勃罗-毕加索的纸板和金属板吉他雕塑（分别为1912年和1914年）是艺术家在结构、空间和材料实验方面的一个白炽期。1912年10月，当他被描述为 "想象吉他的过程 "时，毕加索接受了拼贴、建筑和混合媒介绘画的激进技术，经常将传统的艺术家用品--油画、木炭、粉笔、墨水--与当时非常规的材料相结合，包括纸板、报纸、墙纸、乐谱和沙子。本书与现代艺术博物馆的一个展览同时出版，将毕加索的《吉他》置于其工作室中围绕着它们的各种物品之中，使人们对艺术家在世界大战前几年的作品的独特材料和历史品质有了新的认识。Anne Umland的一篇文章结合了照片、信件、档案记录和目击者的描述，为人们提供了对毕加索的实践以及购买这两件吉他雕塑（均为艺术家送给现代艺术博物馆的礼物）背后的非凡机构历史的见解。

Pablo Picasso’s modest yet revolutionary cardboard and sheet metal Guitar sculptures (1912 and 1914, respectively) bracket an incandescent period of structural, spatial and material experimentation for the artist. In October 1912, while in what he described as ‘the process of imagining a guitar’, Picasso embraced the radical techniques of collage, construction, and mixedmedia painting, frequently combining traditional artists’ supplies – oil paint, charcoal, pastel, ink – with what were then unconventional materials, including cardboard, newspaper, wallpaper, sheet music and sand. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this volume situates Picasso’s Guitars within the constellation of objects that surrounded them in his studio, affording a fresh understanding of the unique material and historical qualities of the artist’s work in the years immediately prior toWorldWar I. An essay by Anne Umland incorporates photographs, correspondence, archival records and eyewitness accounts, providing insights into Picasso’s practice and the remarkable institutional history behind the acquisition of the two Guitar sculptures, both gifts to MoMA from the artist.
