New book
- Picasso in Paris, 1900-1907 - Marilyn McCully ; with contributions by Nienke Bakker, Isabel Cendoya, Peter Read ; edited by Michael Raeburn
Call Number: N 6853 .P5 .A4 2011When Georges Braque visited Pablo Picasso's studio in 1907, he likened viewing Picasso’s latest work to drinking kerosene. This incendiary approach was to set the contemporary art world alight.
In 1900, at around the time of his 19th birthday, Pablo Picasso went to Paris to visit the Universal Exhibition and to have his first experience of the art capital of the world. His training had been in provincial Spanish art schools, but the following year he was offered a large exhibition at the prestigious Vollard Gallery and he became familiar with the bohemian district of Montmartre and its gaudy pleasures.
Yet only a few years later he was challenging Matisse for the position of leader of the French avant garde and was set on his revolutionary path as a universal artist.
This book follows Picasso’s discovery of art and life in the French capital and examines his response to specific artists, including Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Steinlen, Puvis de Chavannes, Rodin and Cézanne.

- Pacific island artists : navigating the global art world - edited by Karen Stevenson
Call Number: NX 595 .A1 .P117 2011 (Macmillan Brown Library)Brings together artists, academics, museum curators and gallery owners to discuss the creation and promotion of contemporary Pacific arts in the global art world.
Addressing art production from across the Pacific region (Australia, Papua, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Rotuma, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Guam, Hawaii, and the Northwest Coast of Canada) this volume examines how these arts are exhibited and marketed on a world stage. It provides the opportunity for a global dialogue concerning contemporary indigenous arts while it explores the diversity and complexities of contemporary Pacific art. In so doing, these contributors confront a variety of issues associated with the production, marketing and acceptance of indigenous arts in a global art world.

New book
- Picasso and Braque : the Cubist experiment, 1910-1912 - Eik Kahng ... [et al.]
Call Number: N 6853 .P5 .A4 2011Offers an intimate look at one of the most pivotal exchanges in the history of Western art: the culminating two years (1910-12) of Analytic Cubism. While the Cubist experiment has long been a requisite chapter in the history of modernism, this is the first publication to delve deeply into these two intense years of productivity, revealing the intriguing pictorial game being played out between these two great masters.
Essays by prominent curators and historians offer sustained readings of paintings, drawings, and prints in terms of their engagement with issues of genre, format, medium, and artistic process. In addition, the new technology of spectral imaging provides reproductions of astounding color and textural fidelity, making this an essential publication for those seeking to understand better the complexity of Picasso's and Braque's mark-making, which typically evades conventional photography.
