Myth and Metamorphosis - Picasso's Classical Prints of the 1930s
Previous studies of Picasso's involvement with the classical have tended to concentrate on the period immediately following the First World War, and to attribute that involvement to both the rise of political conservatism in France and the domesticating influence of the artist's marriage to Olga Koklova. Focusing instead on the later, classicizing prints of the 1930s, this book offers a radically different view of Picasso and the "classical"--a view that aligns his work much more closely with Surrealist, and specifically Bataillean, revisions of antiquity.
Based on worldwide literature on the topic and over fifteen years of research by the author, it includes chapters on self, peer, collaborative, and group assessment and feedback, as well as a look at key issues such as reliability, viability, and maintenance of quality. Problems associated with student involvement are also explored and practical solutions that can be implemented are discussed.
