A review of "Braque (20th Century Masters)" by Vinca Masini
No, this isn't Baroque. Unfortunately! It's Braque.
Georges Braque, to be exact. Modern art. Cubism. That kind of stuff. This
volume contains a lot of incomprehensible and frankly ugly “paintings”,
sketches and (photos of) sculptures by this supposed “master”. Author Vinca
Masini does her best to analyze Braque's bric-a-brac and describe his life and
career. She also spends a lot of time painting him (pun intended) as some kind
of New Messiah of Art in General and Cubism in Particular. Too much hosannas
and alleluias for my taste. But sure, he could paint birds. Or were they paper swallows?
