| Whakarāpopototanga: | "Andre Salmon was one of the premier art critics of his day and the author of two important eyewitness accounts of early twentieth-century art in France, La jeune peinture francaise and La jeune sculpture francaise. These works capture the revolutionary spirit of the period and include references to and jokes from a small coterie of artists and poets that included Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Georges Braque, and Salmon himself. This is the first English-language translation of Salmon's first two books, which serve as the primary sources of the Fauves, the Cubists, and their avant-garde contemporaries. Beth Gersh-Nesic's translation includes annotations that expand upon the period, most notably the literary references that came so naturally to Salmon. His rapport with his peers becomes transparent, providing insight into the studio banter that gave rise to some of the artwork of that era, particularly Picasso's collages. The introduction calls attention to Salmon's main criteria as a critic and offers an understanding of his personal aesthetics, through which we gain a better sense of his ideas and prejudices."--BOOK JACKET. |
