In this groundbreaking and ambitious study, C. F. B. Miller uses that force to undo and remake our understanding of the twentieth century's most legendary artist. By critiquing this legend and showing how, even now, the art itself disrupts received ideas, Radical Picasso rethinks Picasso's function in the history of modernism. Presenting a fresh account of cubism as an art of negativity and excess, Miller juxtaposes early cubist painting with G. W. F. Hegel, high cubism with Plato and his critics, and 'synthetic' cubism with Walter Benjamin. The 'guitar' assemblages of 1926 radicalize collage, taking up the racialized and gendered remainders of modernist aesthetics. Next to surrealism, Picasso's sexuality becomes a biopolitical problem, while the Crucifixion of 1930, and the Picasso myth at large, intersect with the writings of Georges Bataille. At the same time we see how, from his arrival in the art market to the games he played with his self-image in the 1950s, Picasso exploited the very fictions of genius that today determine his posthumous brand. Ultimately, in deconstructing the institution we call 'Picasso,' Radical Picasso retrieves his art from misrepresentation and argues for its continuing use value as a means of thought"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Picasso, Pablo, $d 1881-1973 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Picasso, Pablo, $d 1881-1973. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00028123 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Phillips book prize series ; $v 8. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011516.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C484AC22A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
