This review is from: The essential Cubism, 1907-1920: Braque, Picasso & their friends (Paperback)
It was actually Matisse who derisivly named this geometric art movement Cubism. And this good old book elegantly brings the history of the movement and its members into a concise volume.
The first section presents the birth of the ideation behind this new artistic perspective. Of course starting with the fathers; Braque & Picasso. And how their loosely bound web of like-minded artists entered the art world through pioneering art dealers.

But the bulk of this book is a pictoral parade gallery showing the evolving facettes of the individual cubists ie, Braque, Gris, Leger, Picasso, Gleizes, Metzinger.
Yes a good book, but not the "essential" Cubist history book.
