Pablo Picasso s continued search for the essential features of perceived objects and his natural abidance to the general principles regulating artistic creation determined his intuitive analysis of the various stages of vision.

This collection of interdisciplinary essays explores the range of French and...

Stillman classified styles and defined art in terms that have become fundamental to our modern periodization of the art of the nineteenth century.
