On display from 20 October 2014 to 16 February 2015, “Cubism: The Leonard A. Lauder Collection<\/a>” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York featured 81\u00a0Cubist works by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris and Fernand Leger.<\/p>\n

For Issue 11 of Kolaj Magazine<\/em>, we sent art critic Daniel Kany<\/a> to review the show.<\/p>\n

Collage allowed for some of Cubism\u2019s most powerful ideas to spill into the real world. Braque was able to expand Cubism\u2019s target from legibility to discourse. Braque\u2019s first collage piece might be one of two in the collection. These early collage works are spare and unassuming, but they make for a tsunami moment in the exhibition. Everything before seems to lead up to the cresting moment of collage. Collage comes as an epiphany\u2014the Eureka! moment of Modernist art. Modernism\u2019s coming of age\u2014its transition to unassailable self-awareness\u2014happened the moment Braque glued wallpaper into his paintings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
