ADFAS Lecture – Understanding Cubism

Dr Jacqueline Cockburn PhD: One of the most cryptic movements in art will be explained through a variety of means. This lecture will consider the language we need to understand Cubist works and to be able to find meaning. It will explore the working relationship of Picasso and Braque after the painting of Les Demoiselles D’Avignon and also show other so-called Salon Cubists such as Leger and Juan Gris who made Cubism more palatable for its audience.

Jacqueline also works in London as a free-lance lecturer. Her specialist field is Spanish Art but she also lectures in European Art 1790-1950.
