Christopher Green is one of the great historians of modern art. With characteristic lucidity, Cubism and Reality distils a lifetime's expertise, causing us to look again, with fresh eyes, at the problem of Cubist painting.

A grand retrospective and forward-looking work of scholarship, Green's probing history of Cubism is shaped by the latest thinking on modernism and its legacy in the visual arts. With impeccably crafted prose he draws out the subtle differences between Braque's, Picasso's and Gris's Cubism, so that we see Cubisms, in the plural, anew.
