Description: "Starting with Cezanne, this book shows how Cubism, originating in France, spread rapidly to Russia and Italy. Picasso, Braque, Juan Gris and Fernand Leger, to escape from objectivity, 'deformed' objects in order to discover their inner reality. The aim of art ceased to be the imitation of nature, but the means of creating new forms. To this, the Futurists added dynamism and movement which led eventually to abstraction." -- BACK COVER.
