Picasso and Braque Symposium: The Different Facets of Analytic Cubism, Lisa Florman

Keynote Speaker: Lisa Florman, Associate Professor of Art History, Ohio State University
Lisa Florman's keynote address will explore the ins and outs of Analytic Cubism. Rather than offering her own, new interpretation of the movement, she will attempt instead to provide both a context for the symposium to follow and several different frame-works for making sense of the art presented in Picasso and Braque: The Cubist Experiment, 1910-1912. Intended to be at once historical and itself appropriately analytic, her talk will begin by examining the explanations of Cubism ventured by the artists' contemporaries, and then turn to discuss the major theoretical and critical accounts that have been put forth since, before concluding with a few observations regarding the essays written specifically for the exhibition catalogue.
