Kenneth Brummel, Assistant Curator of Modern Art, describes the marks and devices used by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque to create the language of analytical cubism (1909-1912). His talk will explore how other avant-garde artists built on this foundation to create individualized and innovative graphic styles. See prints and drawings from the AGO collection by a diverse group of artists, including Giacomo Balla, Amedeo Modigliani, Sonia Delaunay, and Gino Severini.
