The age-old artistic tradition of pictorial illusionism, known as trompe l'oeil ("deceive
the eye") beguiles us with visual tricks and confounds our perception of reality and
fiction. Presenting a radically new take on Cubism, this book shows how Pablo Picasso,
Georges Braque, and Juan Gris parodied classic trompe l'oeil motifs and devices while
inventing playful, original ways of challenging the viewer's perception. Insightful,
handsomely illustrated essays explore connections between the Cubists and the trompe
l'oeil artists of earlier centuries with whom they engaged in creative one-upmanship.
Essays discuss the previously unstudied trompe l'oeil iconography within Cubist still
lifes; the history of the trompe l'oeil genre and its changing status over the centuries;
the materials and processes used in Gris's collages; Braque's grounding in trompe
l'oeil interior decoration techniques; and more. Over one hundred illustrated works
juxtapose Cubist paintings, drawings, and collages with related compositions by the
old masters. This handsome volume, which reveals the surprising origins of some of
Cubism's most recognized motifs, is essential reading for anyone interested in the
development of modern art
