Was Picasso a modern Midas who not only turned the trash of everyday life into the gold of Cubist collage but also gave new value to the work of Old Masters? Or was he a monster counterfeiter who mercilessly raided the styles of others? In The Picasso Papers, Rosalind Krauss suggests that the reason we still ask these questions is that modernism itself is a hall of mirrors in which "counterfeit" and "genuine" both reflect the same condition. Krauss brings Picasso's pastiche of other artists brilliantly into focus as the "sublimated" underbelly of Cubism, refashioned in the bright, clean style of Picasso's neoclassicism -- a defense that is its own form of practicing the forbidden.
Review:
"Modernism and postmodernism clash in a jargon-encrusted triptych analyzing Picasso's cubist collages, the charges of pastiche made against his later work, and the repressed effects of his personal life."
Kirkus, 11/15/1997
Review:"This is not the first time Krauss has discussed Picasso's Cubist collages in semiotic terms....But in this book she throws herself into the fray body and soul. She writes in dizzily romantic prose....And in the manner of a schizophrenic, she keeps interrupting herself..."
Sarah Boxer, New York Times Book Review, 03/08/1998
