In 1989, WIlliam S. Rubin, then Director Emeritus of the Museum of Modern Art's Department of Painting and Sculpture, organized a groundbreaking exhibition, Picasso and Braque:Pioneering Cubism. Rubin gathered over 400 paintings and sculptures by the artists for the exhibition and charted their artistic partnership from 1907 to the Great War in 1914. This unscripted lecture was originally produced by the Museum of Modern Art and Checkerboard Film Foundation and was shown in conjucnction with the 1989 exhibition. It has been reissued to commemorate William Rubin on the occasion of the 2007 exhibition, Picasso Cubiste, organized by Museo Picasso in Paris.

Picasso and portraiture : representation and transformation ( Book )
13 editions published between 1996 and 1997 in English and held by 890 libraries worldwide
"Portraiture has managed to flourish in modern painting in spite of the popularization of photography, the decline of traditional patronage, and modernism's increasing emphasis on abstraction. However problematic modern styles have been for representational art, painters have continued to discover new possibilities in the imaging of the human face. This book explores the challenge of the modernist portrait through the multiple solutions proposed by its foremost protagonist and, in so doing, becomes the first volume ever published on the subject of Picasso and portraiture. The hundreds of works reproduced here - most of them unfamiliar, some virtually unknown - demonstrate the remarkable range of Picasso's experimentation in all its stylistic and psychological diversity." "The book opens with an authoritative, broad-ranging essay by William Rubin; the nine essays that follow - all by major contemporary scholars and critics - examine different periods and aspects of Picasso's career and clarify personal relationships between the artist and his subjects. It closes with an essay by Mr. Rubin on the late portraits. Numerous photographs, some never before published and many by outstanding photographers, present the portrait subjects as seen through the eye of the camera." "This book, published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, opening in April 1996, no doubt will long remain the definitive work on its subject."--BOOK JACKET.
